Do I Need Planning Permission

We pay and deal with building control throughout the whole process, you don't have to worry about a thing. Once the Garage Conversion is completed and signed off you will receive a certificate  to confirm the Garage is now a habitable room.

You may not need planning permission, but building regulations mean that if you’re converting a garage (or part of one) into habitable space, you’ll normally need approval from your local authority. So, before work begins, you need to decide whether to submit a building notice or make a full-plans building regulation application.

Best for smaller projects, a building notice application doesn’t call for pre-approved plans. Building work can get underway quickly and a building inspector will approve the works as they’re carried out. However, there are situations when a building notice can’t be used: visit Planning Portal to find out if this could affect you.
