Planning Permission in Galashiels

Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will mostly not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you don't intend to expand the structure of your house. Garage conversions are often covered under permitted development rights, which protect a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in a few regions by local authorities, usually in new builds, so it is always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're intending on undertaking 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 neighbour, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to abide by all building regulations corresponding to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover aspects of the conversion including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is generally a good idea to utilise 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 considered from the start of the project, it is much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

Galashiels

Galashiels is a Scottish burgh in Selkirkshire on the Gala Water river. It acts as a major commercial hub for the Borders region. Although it has an oceanic climate, its raised position and distance from the sea means that it has colder winters and slightly warmer summers than most coastal spots, and snow in winter months is more common. According to the 2011 census, the town has a permanent population of around 14994. In 2015, the Scottish Borders Council certified Galashiels as the capital of the Scottish Borders. Its population grew quickly as a result of the fabric trade with several mills. A connection with the town's mill history, the Mill Lade, continues to link the town from near the site of mills at Wheatlands Road, to Netherdale, through Wilderhaugh, Bank Street, the Fountain and close to the retail development street. The town is especially popular for fabric making, and it is additionally the site of Heriot-Watt University's School of Textiles and Design, Galashiels Academy and one campus of the Borders College, which as of 2009 has actually moved and now accompanies the University. A distinctive landmark in Galashiels is the Glasite church, which is in danger of being lost, yet it remains to be standing in between the mills and shop buildings on High Street, Botany Lane and Roxburgh Street. It is home to Gala RFC and Gala Fairydean Rovers, with the football and rugby grounds connected to each other at one end. The football club's main stand was developed in 1963 to designs by Peter Womersley, based in adjacent Gattonside, with the cantilevered concrete structure, in the Brutalist style, being safeguarded as a Category A listed building. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of reputable specialists in Galashiels to make certain of quality.
