Planning permission is a system where local authorities can authorise building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will often not need planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you don't plan to enlarge the structure of the property. Garage conversions are usually covered under permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a number of regions by councils, especially in new builds, so it's always worth checking with your local authority. If you're considering undertaking 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 will require a Party Wall Agreement. You must comply with all building regulations pertaining to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover parts of the conversion like insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is generally a good idea to work with an architect to draw up 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 considered from the start of the project, it is much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the line. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

Bognor Regis is a resort town and civil parish within the traditional county of Sussex on the south coast of England. It is administratively inside the Arun district of the non-metropolitan county of West Sussex, and suburbs of the town consist of the villages of Felpham, Alwick, and North and South Bersted. Even though the town has an oceanic climate which is comparable to the whole of the UK, it has over 1900 hours of sunshine on average, which is the highest identified annual degree of sunshine in Britain. Its coastal location also stops intense temperatures; since 1960, the temperatures recorded at Bognor have never fallen below -9.4 Celsius or risen above 31.5C, in comparison with other areas within the Sussex Weald dropping beneath -15C and rising above 35 Celsius. From 1864, various wealthy Victorian households appeared in the town and a seaside resort was subsequently established by Sir Richard Hotham. Since the beginning of the 1930s, an amusement park along with a zoo have been there, and a vacation camp in the 1960s has led the town towards more hotel accommodation with modern amenities. The population of Bognor progressively increased over the course of the 20th century, being at around 64,000 in the 2011 census. The post-war period saw partial industrial redevelopment, especially in the 1960s following the construction of a new shopping parade, health centre and high-rise block of flats. The town centre is largely pedestrian friendly, making a really accessible purchasing experience for the town's residents and vacationers. For all your property improvements be sure that you pick reliable specialists in Bognor Regis to make sure that you get the very best quality service.
