What do you get with a garage conversion?

A garage conversion turns an attached, integral or detached garage into a habitable room by infilling the door opening, insulating the floor, walls and roof, and adding windows, heating and power. It is one of the quickest and cheapest ways to add a room.

What approvals does a garage conversion need in England?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

An internal garage conversion is usually permitted development in England unless the house is listed, an Article 4 direction applies, or it is on an estate where the planning permission removed permitted development rights.

What can change the price or programme?

A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
