Planning permission is a system where local authorities can agree to building works by granting permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will usually not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you don't plan to enlarge the structure of your house. Garage conversions are often protected by permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in certain regions by councils, especially in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you are preparing to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. Furthermore, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to adhere to all building regulations corresponding to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover elements of the conversion such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to use an architect to draw up technical drawings also to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You will 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 far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the line. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Brierley Hill is a little town and electoral ward of the Dudley Metropolitan Borough within the West Midlands of England. It's approximately 2.5 miles south of central Dudley and 2 miles north of Stourbridge. Brierley Hill was initially in Staffordshire, but is now a part of the West Midlands metropolitan county ever since its establishment in 1974. A part of the Black Country, and in a heavily industrialised area of the Dudley Borough, it features a permanent population of about 13,935 people, according to the 2011 census. Primarily a product of the Industrial Revolution, Brierley Hill features a somewhat recent history, with the initial written records of the town going back to the 17th century. First established as a settlement in the woodland of Pensnett Chase, it began to expand quickly following the chase's enclosure in 1748, and was initially recorded on a map in 1785 following the mapping of the Stourbridge Canal. The town is best identified for glass and steel manufacturing, although the industry has declined significantly since the 1970s. On the list of the biggest factories within the area was the Round Oak Steelworks, which was shut and redeveloped in the 1980s to turn into the Merry Hill Shopping Centre. The Merry Hill Shopping Centre is situated immediately east of Brierley Hill. One of the largest shopping centres in the UK, it was built between 1985 and 1989 on the site of Merry Hill Farm, the final operating urban farm within the West Midlands. Since 2008, Brierley Hill, including the neighbouring Waterfront Business Park and Merry Hill Shopping Centre, has been designated the Strategic Town Centre of the Dudley Borough, with the aim to make a brand new town centre for the borough. For all of your home upgrades, make sure that you use vetted specialists in Brierley Hill to ensure you get a good quality service.
