It sounds as though I'm going to want a wider garage than the neighbour, is it possible/ allowed to have different dimensions on either side of a shared wall garage?
Anyone have any experience with building a shared wall garage? I assume it's fairly straight forward and not that different than building a standard double.

you can have a larger garage on your side, as long as you fit under the 45% lot coverage. a lot of the time, the house is designed with a standard 20'x21' garage in mind when the lot coverage is being calculated.
example:
3000 sq ft lot (25'x120') = 1350 sq ft (45%)
1350 sq ft - garage (20'x21'= 420 sq ft) = 930 sq ft for house.
