Planning permission is a system where local authorities can consent to building works by granting permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will usually not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not plan to expand the structure of your house. Garage conversions are usually protected by permitted development rights, which protect a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in certain regions by local authorities, especially in new builds, therefore it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you're intending 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 neighbouring property, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to comply with all building regulations pertaining to your garage conversion whether or not you need planning permission. These building regulations cover elements of the conversion like 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 considered 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.
