Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will typically not require planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not intend to expand the structure of your home. Garage conversions are usually covered under permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in certain areas by councils, particularly in new builds, therefore it is always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're intending on undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to abide by 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 often a good idea to utilise an architect to draft technical drawings and also 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.

Brackley is a town in south Northamptonshire. It is about 19 miles (31 km) from Oxford and 22 miles (35 kilometres) from Northampton. Traditionally a market town based on the wool and lace trade, it was established on the intersecting trade routes in between London, Birmingham and the English Midlands and between Cambridge and Oxford. Brackley has a population of roughly 13,018 (2011 Census) which has risen significantly from 2,467 in 1901. The town was the location of a historically significant meeting amongst the barons and representatives of the King in 1215, the year of the Magna Carta. In 1602, the metaphysical poet John Donne was elected as Member of Parliament for the constituency of Brackley. Brackley is near the Silverstone car circuit, and features some industry related to Formula One racing, particularly the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team which is primarily based within the town, as well as the Force India F1 team which has a wind tunnel on the old site of the north railway station. On the east outskirts of the town is H. Bronnley & Co., producers of hand-made soaps who hold Royal Warrants of Appointment for supplying Queen Elizabeth II and the Prince of Wales. The Brackley Morris Men are one of only seven 'traditional Cotswold' Morris dancing sides remaining in England and the only one still running in Northamptonshire. Their history goes back to the 1600s when a solid silver communion plate was given to the parish. The plate which remains in the possession of St Peters Church is dated 1623, and is inscribed with the names of seven men, whom local folklore believes to have been the morris dancers. Brackley features football, rugby and tennis clubs. For all your property improvements, make certain that you employ vetted specialists in Brackley to ensure you get the best quality service.
