Building Regulations
Building Regulations Specialists
The first question many people ask when undertaking a conversion project is whether I need planning permission or building regulations. Most garage conversions do not require planning permission and fall within Permitted Development; there are, of course, exceptions, such as those that are part of a conservation area or listed building. We always recommend seeking guidance from your local authority to ensure your conversion falls under Permitted Development or contact us to discuss your requirements, and we will be able to advise you.
Almost all garage conversions will, however, require a building regulations application. This can be either a Full Plan Submission or a Building Notice. The Full Plan Submission is the most popular and will guarantee your building is fully compliant, a building inspector will visit the site at various stages throughout the work and will provide you with a certificate of completion after the works are finished which may be required should you come to sell the property.
