Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can authorise building works by granting permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will usually not need planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you don't plan to enlarge the structure of your property. Garage conversions are usually covered under permitted development rights, which protect a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in some regions by local authorities, especially in new builds, therefore it is always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're considering undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will require planning permission. In addition, if 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 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 usually a good idea to utilise an architect to draw up technical drawings and also to approve designs in order to ensure compliance with these regulations. You'll 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. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

The London Borough of Newham is a London borough inside east London. It's about five miles (8 km) east of the City of London, north of the River Thames. The borough was established by merging the former area of the Essex county borough of East Ham plus the county borough of West Ham as a borough of the newly formed Greater London, on 1 April 1965. Green Street and Boundary Road mark the former boundary between the two. North Woolwich also became a part of the borough, which was previously within the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich, south of the River Thames inside the County of London, in addition to a smaller area west of the River Roding that had previously been part of the Municipal Borough of Barking.
The borough covers a total area of 13.98 square miles. As outlined by population estimates created in the middle of 2014, Newham is a borough with a permanent population of about 324322 individuals. According to the 2011 Census, Newham has the youngest general population in the country. Transport in Newham is undergoing a major upgrade, together with the completed Docklands Light Railway and Jubilee Line Extension, and new or improved stations at Canning Town, West Ham and Stratford. The Docklands Light Railway was extended to serve London City Airport.
Newham was among the six host boroughs for the 2012 Summer Olympics and contains many of the Olympic Park which includes the Olympic Stadium.
