Planning permission is a system where local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will often not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you don't plan to expand the structure of your property. Garage conversions tend to be covered under permitted development rights, which protect a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in some regions by local authorities, particularly in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority.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. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to conform to all building regulations related to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover parts of the conversion including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is usually a good idea to utilise an architect to draft plans and also to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You will likely still need to submit plans describing the change of use of the garage to your local authority. If planning permission is taken into account from the start of the project, it is far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Translating as 'lone ridge', Antrim is a town and civil parish in County Antrim in the northeast of Northern Ireland. It's in around the banks of the Six Mile Water, half a mile from Lough Neagh. It's the county town of County Antrim and prior to this, was the administrative home of Antrim Borough Council. There are numerous divisions and suburbs of Antrim, a number of which are Ballycraigy, Carnbeg, Caulside, Dublin Road, Greenvale, Greystone, Islandbawn, Meadowlands, Muckamore, Newpark, Niblock, plus the Folly. With a population of 20001, Antrim is classified as a large town by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency. Within this population, 23.1 percent were below 16 years old and 15.7% were aged 60 and over. 48.6 percent of the population were male and 51.4% were female. Many buildings in the town are historically significant, particularly near the High Street. This consists of the courthouse, a 19th-century smithy on Bridge Street, which contains a special horseshoe entrance, Shane's Castle and Antrim Castle, the Castle Grounds, and the Springfarm Rath. Renovations to Antrim Market House, a 2-storey building which is 9 bays long, 3 deep, constructed in 1726, are currently taking place. This will contain Antrim Information Centre, moving it from its place on the High Street, as well as a multi-functional auditorium to be able to create an area for several functions, including theatre and music productions. As a result of being on the banks of a river, the linen industry came to prominence in Antrim, though this was impacted by the decline in the industry during the 20th century. It has been replaced by Northern Ireland's Technology Park. For all your house improvement, be certain that you utilise trusted experts in Antrim to make sure that you get the very best quality.
