Planning permission is a system where local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will mostly not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you do not intend to enlarge the structure of your home. Garage conversions are usually protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in a number of areas by councils, particularly in new builds, so it's always worth checking with your local authority.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 require planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbour, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You must 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 including insulation, escape routes, fire proofing and ventilation, so it is generally a good idea to work with an architect to draft plans 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 line. Nearly all planning permission applications in England are approved.

The City of Westminster is an Inner London borough which occupies significantly with the central area of Greater London including most of the West End. It is to the west of and adjoining the ancient City of London, straight to the east of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, and its southern boundary is the River Thames. It was established with the 1965 establishment of Greater London. Upon creation, Westminster was awarded city status, which had been previously held by the smaller sized Metropolitan Borough of Westminster. The local authority is Westminster City Council.
Apart from quite a few substantial parks and open spaces, the population density of the district is high. As outlined by population estimates from the middle of 2014, the borough currently has a permanent population of around 233292, indicating a slight decrease from 2008. Many sites generally associated with London are inside the borough, including St. James's Palace, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and Number 10 Downing Street.
The borough is split into quite a few localities, including the ancient political district of Westminster around the Palace of Westminster, the shopping areas around Oxford Street, Regent Street, Piccadilly and Bond Street, along with the night time entertainment district of Soho. The City of Westminster is home to a large number of organisations. Several leading international corporations have chosen to establish their international or European headquarters inside the City of Westminster. For all your residence upgrades, ensure that you utilise trustworthy professionals in Westminster to make sure that you get the very best quality.
