Planning Permission in Windermere

Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can authorise building works by giving permission for the planned work. Garage conversions will often not need planning permission, as long as the work is internal and you do not plan to enlarge the structure of your home. Garage conversions tend to be covered under permitted development rights, which protect a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been rescinded in certain areas by councils, especially in new builds, so it's always worth checking with your local authority.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 are in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if any of the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you must obtain a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to conform to all building regulations corresponding 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 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'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 far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

It has a population of 8,245 increasing to 8,359 at the 2011 Demographics, and also lies concerning half a mile (1 km) eastern of the lake, Windermere. Although the community Windermere does not touch the lake (it took the name of the lake when the train line was built in 1847 and the station was called "Windermere"), it has actually currently grown together with the older lakeside town of Bowness-on-Windermere, though the two maintain distinguishable town centres. Tourism is popular in the town because of its closeness to the lake as well as local views. Boats from the piers in Bowness sail around the lake, many calling at Ambleside or at Lakeside where there is a brought back railway. Windermere Hotel opened up at the same time as the train.
