Planning permission is a system where local authorities can consent to building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will often not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not plan to enlarge the structure of your house. Garage conversions are often covered under permitted development rights, which protect a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in some regions by councils, particularly in new builds, so it's always worth checking with your local authority. If you're preparing to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. Furthermore, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You must 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 often a good idea to utilise an architect to draw up technical drawings and 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 taken into account from the start of the project, it is much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the line. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.
