Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can agree to building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will usually not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you don't intend to expand the structure of your house. Garage conversions are often protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in some areas by councils, particularly in new builds, so it's always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're considering undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or are in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You must comply with all building regulations pertaining to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover elements of the conversion such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is usually a good idea to work with an architect to draft plans and 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 far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Holyhead is the largest town in the county of Isle of Anglesey in Wales. Holyhead is located on Holy Island, which had a population of 13,659 at the 2011 census. The town centre is constructed around St. Cybi's Church, which is developed inside one of Europe's few three-walled Roman forts (the 4th perimeter being the sea, which used to come up to the fort). The Port of Holyhead has a busy ferry port. Stena Line, Northern Europe's largest ferry firm, operates from the port, as do Irish Ferries. Holyhead Port is a significant employer, many of the work being linked to the ferryboat services to the Republic of Ireland operated by Stena and Irish Ferries. Other notable industrial/transport sector companies in Holyhead feature Holyhead Boatyard, Gwynedd Shipping, and Eaton Electrical. New retail developments over the last few years have been a huge source of brand-new job creation. Holyhead's arts centre, the Ucheldre Centre, is found in the chapel of an old convent belonging to the order of the Bon Sauveur. It holds regular arts shows, productions, workshops and movie screenings. The Holyhead Maritime Museum is housed in what is said to be Wales's eldest lifeboat house. In accordance with the Census of 2001, 47% of the citizens in the town can speak Welsh. The greatest percentage of speakers is the 15-year-old age group, of whom 66% can speak the language. According to the 2011 Census, of those in the community who were born in Wales, only 52.2% of the population could speak Welsh. Holyhead is the home of one of the very first churches of the Jedi Faith, started by brothers Daniel and Barney Jones early in 2008. Holyhead High School (formerly County Secondary school) was the first comprehensive school in the UK. For all your home renovations, make certain to identify reliable specialists in Holyhead to make certain of quality.
