Planning and building rules in Bridgend
In Wales the planning rules, including what counts as permitted development, are set by the Welsh Government, and Welsh building regulations differ in places from England’s. We check both against your house before drawings are finalised, and handle party wall notices where needed.
In Wales, converting an attached garage usually does not need planning permission unless rights have been removed by condition or the building is listed.
What can affect a garage conversion?
- The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
