What will a garage conversion cost?

What approvals does a garage conversion need in Wales?
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?
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
How does the project run?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
