Planning permission is a system where local authorities can authorise building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will typically not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not plan to expand the structure of the property. Garage conversions are usually covered under permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in a few regions by councils, especially in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're intending to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to conform to all building regulations related to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover aspects of the conversion like insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to work with an architect to draft technical drawings and 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 far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the line. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Fulham is a district within the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in southwest London. It is 3.7 miles south-west from Charing Cross, which makes it an Inner London district. It's on the north bank of the River Thames, in between Hammersmith and Kensington and Chelsea, facing Putney and Barnes. Formerly, it had been a parish in the county of Middlesex. It is identified in the London Plan as among the 35 major centres in Greater London.
Fulham's reputation of industrial enterprise extends back to the 15th century, with its Mill at Millshot on the south side of what's now Fulham Palace Road. There was also a pottery, tapestry-weaving, paper-making and brewing industry during the 17th and 18th centuries in the area of what's now generally known as Fulham High Street. The subsequent two hundred years were known for energy production, transportation, the automotive industry, food production and laundries.
For the first part of the twentieth century, Fulham remained mostly working class with pockets of wealth at the North End, along the top of Lillie Road and New King's Road. Especially rich places were Parsons Green, Eel Brook Common, South Park along with the location surrounding the Hurlingham Club. The region attracted waves of immigration, and swift changes meant that there was poverty - Charles Dickens and Charles Booth noted this, and there were poorhouses that attracted benefactors.
Nowadays, Fulham is rated as among the most pricey parts of London and the UK overall. The average sale price of all property in 2007 was £639,973 - and is likely to be a lot more now.
