Planning permission is a system where local authorities can consent to building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will typically not need planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not plan to expand the structure of the property. Garage conversions are often protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a few locations by local authorities, especially in new builds, so it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you're intending to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You must abide by all building regulations relevant to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover aspects of the conversion including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to utilise an architect to draft plans and also to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You'll 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 line. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.
