Homes in Gwent

Housing in Wales ranges from terraced streets in the valleys and older industrial towns to stone-built homes in rural areas and modern estates around the cities.

What do you get with a garage conversion?

Most integral garages already have the walls and roof; what they need is a new insulated floor, an infilled front wall with a window, and heating. We check whether your permitted development rights are intact, handle building control and finish the room ready to use.

Planning and building rules in Gwent

Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.

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 should I think about before starting?

Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
