Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can consent to 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 do not plan to enlarge the structure of the property. Garage conversions are often protected by permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in certain locations by councils, usually in new builds, so 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 the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to abide by all building regulations pertaining to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover aspects of the conversion such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is generally a good idea to utilise an architect to draft technical drawings 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 much less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.
