Garage Conversion
Does a garage conversion require planning permission?
Garage Conversion
If you’ve already maximized your loft space with a conversion, or if you don’t have a car, a garage conversion could offer an affordable way to add extra room to your Derby home. Garages are often spacious enough to create a new home office or even a dedicated playroom for the kids. However, the conversion will require careful planning. It must meet all current building regulations for internal spaces, and at Future Build, we can guide you through the process.
Does a garage conversion require planning permission?
In most cases, planning permission isn’t needed for a garage conversion, unless your garage is a listed building or if new windows are added that could overlook a neighbouring property. Garage conversions often fall under permitted development rights, but it’s always a good idea to contact your local council to ensure everything is in order and give you peace of mind.
Will structural drawings be needed?
Similar to planning permission, most garage conversions won’t require structural drawings unless the project is particularly complex. In such cases, we can recommend some excellent local architects to assist you.
However, it’s always good practice to have a detailed plan of what the work will involve before finalizing the agreement.
Garage reversion
In addition to converting unused garages into internal rooms, we also offer garage reversions. The key to ensuring a smooth, hassle-free transition back to a garage is to retain as much of the original specification from the room conversion as possible.
If you’re considering converting your garage into a more practical living space, get in touch with us online or by phone. Our team of builders in Derby can arrange an in-person meeting to discuss your needs and plan your project.
