Planning permission is a system where local authorities can authorise building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will typically not require planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not plan to enlarge the structure of your property. Garage conversions are often covered under permitted development rights, which protect a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in a few areas by councils, usually in new builds, so it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you're planning to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to conform to all building regulations relevant to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover aspects of the conversion like insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to work with an architect to draw up technical drawings and to 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 considered from the start of the project, it is much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.
