Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to building works by giving permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will usually not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you don't intend to expand the structure of the property. Garage conversions tend to be protected by permitted development rights, which protect a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in a number of regions by local authorities, usually in new builds, therefore it is always worth verifying with your local authority. If you're planning to undertake a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. Furthermore, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You are required to conform to all building regulations pertaining to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover parts of the conversion such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is often 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 will likely still need to submit plans describing 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 road. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

Newport is a city and unitary authority area in south eastern Wales, on the River Usk close to its convergence with the Severn Estuary, 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Cardiff. At the 2011 census, it was the third largest city in Wales, with a population of 145,700. The city forms part of the Cardiff-Newport metropolitan area, with a population of 1,097. Newport has actually been a port given that medieval times, when the very first Newport Castle was constructed by the Normans. The town outgrew the earlier Roman town of Caerleon, promptly upstream, as well as gained its first charter in 1314. It grew considerably in the 19th century, when its port became the emphasis of coal exports from the eastern South Wales Valleys. Up until the rise of Cardiff from the 1850s, Newport was Wales' biggest coal-exporting port. Newport was the site of the last large armed insurrection in Britain, the Newport Climbing of 1839 led by the Chartists. This was led by the Chartist John Frost which caused the re-branding of the Duffryn High School into John Frost School. In the 20th century, the anchors declined in value, but Newport remained a crucial production as well as design centre. It was granted city status in 2002. Newport organized the Ryder Cup in 2010 as well as was the location for the 2014 NATO summit.
