Garage Conversion

Converting an integral, semi-detached, or detached garage into habitable living space - such as a bedroom, home office, or utility room. Most garage conversions are permitted development (internal conversion) but require building regulations approval for insulation, structural changes, fire safety, ventilation, and drainage. Converting a garage removes permitted development rights to replace it with another garage or extension of the same size.
