In most cases, garage conversions fall under permitted development, so you won’t need formal planning permission. It’s always wise to check with your local planning authority, especially if you live in a conservation area or your property has specific restrictions. However, there are exemptions to this, such as conservation areas and sheds and outbuildings which are included in the calculation of the percentage of land used. Therefore, we treat each job individually and our planners and designers will be able to advise you accurately.
