Planning permission is a system whereby local authorities can agree to building works by giving permission for the proposed work. Garage conversions will mostly not require planning permission, so long as the work is internal and you don't plan to enlarge the structure of your property. Garage conversions are usually protected by permitted development rights, which cover a number of home improvement work. However, these rights have been removed in a number of locations by local authorities, particularly in new builds, so it is always worth verifying 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 require planning permission. Furthermore, if the walls of your garage are shared walls with a neighbouring property, you will need a Party Wall Agreement. You must abide by all building regulations related 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 usually a good idea to use an architect to draw up technical drawings 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 considered from the start of the project, it is far less likely that there will be any trouble further down the line. The vast majority of planning permission applications in England are approved.
