Planning Permission in Dover

Planning permission is a system where local authorities can agree to building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will often not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not intend to expand 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 However, these rights have been rescinded in a number of locations by councils, especially in new builds, therefore it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you are intending to undertake 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 need a Party Wall Agreement. You must adhere to all building regulations corresponding to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover parts of the conversion such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to work with an architect to draw up technical drawings and 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 much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the line. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.
