Will I need planning permission for my Garage Conversion? 

LPAs (Local Planning Authorities) don’t often assert the power for a planning permission requirement over garage conversions but there are some cases in which it is needed: for example, in the case of extensions, where the property is situated in a conservation area or listed, or where the converted room will change the primary usage of the home. If planning permission is a necessity before conversion works begin, the Refresh team will complete the process for the homeowner; including all relevant paperwork, creating any amendments to renovation plans and communicating with all appropriate parties.
