Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to building works by giving permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not require planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not intend to expand the structure of your property. Garage conversions tend to be protected by permitted development rights, which protect a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in certain locations by councils, usually in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're intending on undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You must abide by all building regulations related 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 utilise an architect to draft technical drawings and 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 considered from the start of the project, it is far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Burford is a tiny medieval community on the River Windrush, in the Cotswold hillsides, in the West Oxfordshire area of Oxfordshire, England. It is usually referred to as the 'entrance' to the Cotswolds. Burford is located 18 miles (29 kilometres) west of Oxford as well as 22 miles (35 km) southeast of Cheltenham, concerning 2 miles (3 km) from the Gloucestershire border. The toponym derives from the Old English words burh indicating prepared town or hilltown as well as ford, the going across of a river. The 2011 Census recorded the population of Burford parish as 1,410 as well as Burford Ward as 1,847. The town centre's most remarkable structure is the Church of St John the Baptist, a Church of England parish church, which is a Grade I provided structure. Explained by David Verey as "a difficult building which has actually developed in an interested way from the Norman", it is understood for its sellers' guild chapel, memorial to Henry VIII's barber-surgeon, Edmund Harman, featuring South American Indians and Kempe discolored glass. In 1649 the church was used as a prison during the Civil War, when the New Model Army Banbury mutineers were held there. A few of the 340 detainees left makings as well as graffiti, which still endure in the church. The town centre also has some 15th-century houses and the baroque design townhouse that is now Burford Methodist Church. In between the 14th as well as 17th centuries Burford was essential for its woollen profession. The Tolsey, midway along Burford's High Street, which was as soon as the centerpiece for profession, is now a gallery.
