Planning permission is a system where local authorities can consent to building works by giving permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you don't plan to expand the structure of your house. Garage conversions are usually protected by permitted development rights, which protect a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a few regions by local authorities, usually in new builds, so it's always worth checking with your local authority. If you are thinking about undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You must 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 such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is generally a good idea to work with an architect to draw up 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 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.

Campbeltown (population 4,852) is a town as well as former royal burgh in Argyll and also Bute, Scotland. It lies by Campbeltown Loch on the Kintyre peninsula. Initially known as Kinlochkilkerran (an anglicization of the Gaelic, which indicates "head of the loch by the kirk of Ciarán"), it was relabelled in the 17th century as Campbell's Town after Archibald Campbell (Earl of Argyle) was provided the site in 1667. Campbeltown came to be a crucial centre for Scotch whisky, and an active angling port.
