Planning Permission in Newhaven

Planning permission is a system where local authorities can authorise building works by granting permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will often not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you don't intend to enlarge the structure of the property. Garage conversions are often covered under permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in a number of locations by local authorities, usually 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 need planning permission. In addition, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to comply with 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 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 far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.
