Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not plan to enlarge the structure of your home. Garage conversions are often protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in a number of regions by councils, usually in new builds, therefore it is always worth verifying with your local authority. If you are preparing to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to conform to all building regulations corresponding to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover parts of the conversion including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to utilise an architect to draft plans and also to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You will likely still need to submit plans describing 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 much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Caterham is a town inside the Tandridge District of Surrey. For administrative purposes, the town is split into two: Caterham on the Hill, and Caterham Valley, which contains the main town centre. Caterham is situated 21 miles from the county town of Guildford and 15.5 miles south of London. The total population of Caterham, as outlined by the 2011 census, is 21090 inhabitants from 8543 households, which illustrates a development of households by 130 in 10 years. As a result of its practical access to London, Caterham is largely a commuter town. It does have its own companies of both small and medium size, but there are few particular business or industrial parks for this to expand greatly. However, Caterham is home to a considerable area devoted to retail and restaurants in Caterham Valley, as well as various pubs spread out across the town. The town consists of two high streets, serving substantial and affluent communities, with a railway station as well as a mixture of contemporary and more historic buildings. The town also has two youth football clubs, Caterham Pumas F. C. and Queens Park F. C. The Old Caterhamians Rugby Football Club, established in 1928 and shares its facilities with Caterham Cricket Club, formerly played in Queen's Park. You can find lots of possibilities for involvement in the arts or watching performances, in particular in the theatre situated in the old Caterham Barracks and the Miller Centre in the town centre that regularly shows amateur performances and films, as well as hosting numerous clubs and neighborhood groups. For all of your home upgrades, make certain that you use trustworthy specialists in Caterham to make sure you get the best quality.
