I asked my council whether they would be minded to allow me to convert my garage to an office.They want plans!
Filed Under (garage) by admin on 21-11-2007
Pan asked:

The only difference to the outside will be replacement garage doors (to patios) My garden is surrounded by high hedge, so nobody would see. Its going to cost a bomb to get planning…is that right? Can I go ahead anyway?

no, if you do it woithout planning permission they’ll make you take it down.
it’s best to get planning consent first. it’s a legal thing, even if you couldn’t see it, neighbours and such would be asked if they minded.
it’s best to do it properly, it’ll cost you more if you build then have to demolish

For you can either force you to get the plans first it would be easier for you to covert it would be easier for you in the long run.
For you will have to change it would be easier for you can go ahead but if they can go ahead but if.
The long run.

Council? Get rid of that, it’s your house right?

they want to make sure it is done safely so you do not cause structural or fire problems. Is pain but it is your safety. If you get caught, you will have to tear it all our and pay fines

You will need to submit plans as its a change of use and extends the space of the habitable area of the home, no choice in the matter
