Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can authorise 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 plan to expand the structure of your property. Garage conversions tend to be protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a few locations by councils, particularly in new builds, so it's always worth checking with your local authority. If you are planning to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You must adhere to all building regulations relevant 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 generally a good idea to work with an architect to draw up plans and approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You'll 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. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Hailsham is a civil parish and the largest of the 5 towns that form the Wealden area of East Sussex. With a population of just more than 20000 and around 8500 homes, it is also the largest inland town in East Sussex. Hailsham is set 7 miles north of Eastourne, 19 miles south of Tunbridge Wells, 14 miles west of Hastings and 11 miles east of the town of Lewes. Being 6 miles from the coast and between the greatly wooded hills of the southern Forest Ridge and the countryside of the South Downs, the town is surrounded by enticing and unblemished panoramas. Hailsham's traditional market was rope making, which consisted of producing and supplying ropes for public hanging to Great Britain and the Colonies. In spite of the drop-off of the market, light industry continues in two sizeable commercial estates located in the town. The Heritage Centre in Blackman's Yard, run by members of the Hailsham Historical and Natural History Society, allows visitors to access the town's past through using photos and artefacts. Displays showing kitchens, farming, farming, local industry and wartime memorabilia aim to present a sense of the town's history over the past few hundred years. Hailsham has a large range of regional and national shops, eateries and multiple supermarkets. The majority of these can be found in the Quintins shopping centre, which was opened in the late 1980s. Another popular tourist attraction for residents and visitors is the market based in Vicarage Field, created in 2013 as one of Hailsham Town Team's main initiatives. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of reputable experts in Hailsham to make certain of quality.
