Garage conversions
You will need to apply for building regulations approval if you plan to convert a garage.
This is because you are changing a non habitable space into a habitable space. This would be classified as a 'material change of use'.
The building regulations will help to make sure:
- the garage is safe and sound
- that it is water and weatherproof
- it is insulated for comfort and energy conservation
- it is ventilated to assist healthy living.
