Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can authorise building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will usually not require planning permission, so 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 protect a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in a number of regions by local authorities, particularly in new builds, therefore it is always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're thinking about undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to abide by all building regulations relevant 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 often a good idea to utilise an architect to draft technical drawings and 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 road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Cupar is a community, previous royal burgh as well as church in Fife, Scotland. It lies between Dundee and Glenrothes. According to a 2011 population price quote, Cupar had a population around 9,000, making it the 9th biggest settlement in Fife, and also the civil church a population of 11,183 (in 2011). It is the historical county town of Fife, although the council currently sits at Glenrothes. The town is thought to have actually expanded around the site of Cupar Castle, which was the seat of the constable and was owned by the earls of Fife. The area ended up being a centre for judiciary as the region of Fife and as a market town providing for both cattle and also lamb. Towards the last stages of the 13th century, the burgh ended up being the website of an assembly of the 3 estates - clergy, nobility and also citizens - organised by Alexander III in 1276 as a precursor of the Parliament of Scotland. Although written info of a charter for the modern community was lost, proof suggested that this existed as one of the many residential properties possessed by the Earls of Fife by 1294. During the middle of the 14th century, the burgh started to pay custom-mades on gross incomes, which possibly meant that royal burgh standing was given at some point between 1294 as well as 1328. The earliest file, referring to the royal burgh, was a give by Robert II in 1381 to provide a port at Guardbridge on the River Eden to assist improve trade with Flanders. This grant was officially recognised by James II in 1428.
