Building regulations
We work closely with the local planning authorities and will complete all designs and applications on your behalf.
Planning Permission
Planning permission is not usually required if the work is internal and you are not enlarging the building. Sometimes permitted development rights have been removed from some properties with regard to garage conversions, particularly if you live on a new housing development or in a conservation area. Therefore in all circumstances we advise you to first contact your local planning authority to confirm that the work can be carried out. Check out the Planning Portal website for more information here.
Building Regulations
All building works, garage conversions and alterations must be completed to the minimum standards for health, safety, welfare and convenience.
The conversion of a garage will be inspected by building control throughout the project and will require all necessary certificates such as electrical and gas before the build is signed off.
