Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will usually not require planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not intend to enlarge the structure of your property. Garage conversions are often covered under permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in some regions by councils, usually in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you are thinking about undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. Furthermore, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will require a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to 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 including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often a good idea to use an architect to draft plans 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 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.

Heathfield is a modest market town in East Sussex, England. The town lies near the junction of 2 main roads: the A267 between Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne; and the A265 from Hawkhurst. It is almost equidistant from Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne: about 16 mi (26 km). Historically, Heathfield lay on an ancient trackway (The Ridgeway), linking the South Downs with the Weald. Its market charter was granted in February 1316 throughout the reign of Edward II. The Wealden iron brought affluence to the town throughout the 16th and 17th centuries; the arrival of the railway (the Cuckoo Line) in 1880 gave it another new lease of life. The latter was not a financial success and the branch line in between Eridge and Polegate closed in 1968. The trackbed is now named the Cuckoo Trail, part of the National Cycle Network. The initial village, described as Old Heathfield, is now merely part of the town, which has developed over time. The town holds an annual fair named the Heffle Cuckoo Fair each April, and the yearly Heathfield show happens each May in the summer. There is an Anglo/French market called Le Marché held annually on the August Bank Holiday and a fair that visits through the Summertime. There is a reasonably large football field and a little play ground. At Cross-in-Hand there is a rugby club for adults and children. Within the town, there are 2 flower designers, many churches, a number of hair and beauty parlor, 2 boutiques, an electrical shop, 2 bookshops, 2 ironmongers, 5 charity shops, 2 pubs, a green grocer, a butcher, a baker, 2 antique shops, a grocery store, and a variety of banks, estate agents, and restaurants. For all of your home developments, make certain to identify reliable contractors in Heathfield to make certain of quality.
