Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can authorise building works by giving permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you don't intend to enlarge the structure of the property. Garage conversions tend to be protected by permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a number of locations by local authorities, usually in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you are thinking about undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You must adhere to all building regulations relevant to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover elements of the conversion like insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to utilise an architect to draft plans also to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You'll likely still need to submit plans detailing the change of use of the garage to your local authority. If planning permission is considered from the start of the project, it is far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

Abbots Ripton is a village in Cambridgeshire. It lies five miles north of Huntingdon. It has a population of just 309, and covers 4,191 acres of land. The parish is in the District of Huntingdonshire, which also includes St Ives, St Neots, Godmanchester and Ramsey.
The village was the site of the Abbots Ripton railway disaster in 1876, where a Flying Scotsman train crashed during a blizzard.
Abbots Ripton has a lengthy history. The Domesday book records it as Riptone, and in the 11th century it was known as Riptune. Moat Farm has trees dating back to Shakespeare's era, and St. Andrew's church tower is around 400 years old. It holds a bell made in 1400 and another from 1671. The nave, aisle and porch of the church are even older, dating back to the 13th century.
The village has a 17th-century pub, the Three Horseshoes, which was badly damaged by a fire in 2010 created by embers in the chimney.
