Planning Permission in Chard

Planning permission is a system where local authorities can authorise 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 don't intend to expand the structure of the property. Garage conversions are usually protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in a few areas by local authorities, especially in new builds, therefore it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you are planning to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You must comply with all building regulations relevant to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover elements of the conversion like insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to use an architect to draw up plans and 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 road. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

Chard

Chard is a town and a civil parish in the English county of Somerset. It lies on the A30 road near the Devon border, 15 miles (24 km) south west of Yeovil. The parish features a population of roughly 13000 and, at an elevation of 121 metres (397 ft), Chard is the southernmost and highest town in Somerset. Administratively Chard forms a part of the district of South Somerset. The name of the town was Cerden in 1065 and Cerdre in the Domesday Book of 1086. Just after the Norman Conquest, Chard was held by the Bishop of Wells. The town's 1st charter was from King John in 1234. Chard is most famously referred to as the birthplace of powered flight, as in 1848, John Stringfellow initially revealed that engine-powered flight was attainable. Percy and Ernist Petter, who formed Westland Aircraft Works, witnessed a number of Stringfellow's demonstrations in Chard and often asked for support in the formation of Westland's first aircraft development factory on the outskirts of Yeovil. Agusta Westland now holds the Henson and Stringfellow lecture yearly for the RAeS. Chard Reservoir, roughly a mile north east of the town, is a Local Nature Reserve, and Snowdon Hill Quarry a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest. Major employers inside the town consist of Numatic International Limited plus the Oscar Mayer food processing plant. There are a variety of sporting and cultural facilities, with secondary education being provided at Holyrood Academy. Religious sites include the Church of St Mary the Virgin which dates from the late 1200's. For all your house upgrades, be certain that you employ trustworthy experts in Chard to ensure you get the best quality.
