Planning permission is a system where local authorities can agree to building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not intend to expand the structure of your home. Garage conversions tend to be covered under permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in some areas by councils, particularly in new builds, so it is 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 the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to abide by all building regulations relevant to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover elements of the conversion including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to use an architect to draft plans and to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You will 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 much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

Balham is a district in south London inside the London Borough of Wandsworth. The settlement features inside the Domesday Book as Belgeham. Bal means ‘rounded enclosure’ and ham a homestead, village or river enclosure. The location has been settled since Saxon times, and Balham Hill and Balham High Road follow the line of the Roman road Stane Street to Chichester.
Balham encompasses the A24 north of Tooting Bec and also the roads coming off it. The southern part of Balham which is near Tooting Bec features a block of 1930s Art Deco flats named Du Cane Court. There's also the Heaver Estate which can be found in Tooting, which comprises substantial houses. It was constructed within the grounds of the old Bedford Hill House by nearby Victorian builder Alfred Heaver.
Balham is positioned between 4 south London commons, namely Clapham Common towards the north, Wandsworth Common to the west, Tooting Graveney Common to the south and the connecting Tooting Bec to the east.
During WW2, on 14th October 1940, Balham tube station was badly damaged by air raids on London. Individuals sheltered in the tube station during the raids, however a bomb fell in the High Road and through the roof of the Underground station, bursting a water and gas mains and killing about 64 individuals. Ian McEwan describes the event in the novel ‘Atonement’, published in 2001.
