Garage conversions in Northamptonshire

Covering Northamptonshire

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 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.

How is a garage conversion approved in Northamptonshire?

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 can affect a garage conversion?

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

What happens after I enquire?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.

Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
