GARAGE PLANS
Planning permission is not usually required for attached or integral garage conversions, however specific planning conditions may prevent such a change. This may occur on more recently built properties where a condition is applied to ensure the garage is retained solely for parking of a car. Detached garages may require permission in some circumstances.
A well designed garage conversion with architectural plans can bring extra daylight into your house. If your garage is attached to the house it can add a lounge, bathroom, play-room, kitchen, home-gym or office.
Architectural garage plans are excellent to achieve Building Regulation approval and to have a clear build programme for your builder.
