Planning permission is a system where local authorities can agree to building works by giving permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will usually not require planning permission, as 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 cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a few locations by councils, especially in new builds, therefore it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you are thinking about undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live 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 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 aspects of the conversion such as insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is generally a good idea to use an architect to draft technical drawings and 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 line. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.
