Planning permission is a system whereby 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 do not intend to expand the structure of your property. Garage conversions are usually protected by permitted development rights, which cover a variety of home improvement work. However, these rights have been taken away in a number of regions by local authorities, particularly in new builds, therefore it is always worth checking with your local authority. If you are intending on undertaking a garage conversion on a listed building or live in a conservation area, you will need planning permission. In addition, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You will still need to abide by all building regulations related 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 usually 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 far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the road. The majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.

The West Midlands city of Worcester carries a populace of around 94,000 and was constructed about the River Severn. Worcester was one of many cities which benefitted from a update in the 50s and 60s, with lots of the older structures bull dozed and substituted by modern day houses as part of town planning decisions. There's still some historical architecture leftover, mainly from the medieval eras, creating a diverse spread of houses across the city. For the home improvements you're looking at in Worcester, seek out the leading tradespeople in the area to get the best from your house.
