what is the best way to get approval for our garage conversion?
Anonymous user 13/03/2024 - 2.31 PM
we would like to convert our current garage into a study room and a downstairs toilet.the work involves to remove the current garage door(at the front of the house) and to replace with cavity wall with a window, to build a stud wall so the back of the garage can be converted to facility toilet and washing basin. From search on the council's website, I don't think we need planning permission, but we will need to get building regulation approval. my question is do we get approval through "FULL PLAN SUBMERSION"? or just "Building Notice application"? Many thanks!

Either.You will need a builder who is up on the regs with this kind of job though to make things run smoothly if using a building notice.Having certain aspects of the job inspected and failed by building control will lead to much stress:)
