Homes in the East Midlands
The East Midlands combines red-brick terraces in the cities with a lot of post-war and modern estate housing, so rear extensions, garage conversions and loft conversions are all common.
What is included in a garage conversion in Melton Mowbray?
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.
- Garage door removal and brick infill with window
- Heating, electrics and data points

What approvals does a garage conversion need in England?
In England we deal with the council’s planning team for permission or a lawful development certificate, with building control (the council or a registered building control approver) for inspections, and with neighbours under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 where it 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 should I think about before starting?
- Some new-build estates have a planning condition keeping garages for parking.
- The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.
