Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can agree to building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not need planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not intend to expand the structure of the property. Garage conversions tend to be covered under permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in a number of regions by local authorities, usually in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you are intending on undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You must comply with all building regulations pertaining 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 generally a good idea to use an architect to draw up plans 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 line. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Didcot is a railway town and civil parish in the county of Oxfordshire. Despite the fact that it is a parish, it has the status of a town, being administered by the Didcot Town Council. The town belonged of Berkshire up until its transfer to Oxfordshire in 1974, caused by a boundary modification specified in the 1972 Local Government Act, and it became a part of the newly-formed South Oxfordshire region. Having an area of 3.27 square miles and a population total of 25 140, it constitutes the largest town in the new district. Didcot has actually been labelled as one of three significant progression areas in Oxfordshire, due to such developments as the 'Ladygrove' starting in the late 1980s. The 'Ladygrove' has featured construction work in the north and east of Didcot's train line on marshland since the late 1980s, and the development is on task to double the amount of households in the town. It is projected that the town will continue to grow thanks to the decision of a planning enquiry in 2006 that the construction of a 3200 home project to the west of the town will commence after the conclusion of the 'Ladygrove' development. Didcot is frequently recognised for its power station, railway and train junction. The town was of strategic benefit to military logistics during the course of World War 1 and World War Two because of Didcot's junction of the routes to London, Bristol, Oxford and to Southampton through the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway (DN&S). In 2015, Didcot ended up being the very first existing town designated as a Garden Town, which is a status that offers funding to support eco friendly and environmentally-friendly town development for 15 years.
