Not sure this is exactly the right place, but are there are regs I need to be aware of if I'm considering converting a single garage into a work space (for a desk based job - literally a computer, desk and chair).
I'd like to insulate and plaster the walls, perhaps insert a window and sort out the floor. I've used all my permitted development space, but is this a planning 'thing' that I need to apply to the council for?
Anyone strongly advise not converting a garage for any reason?! Its an old style garage, too narrow for modern cars really, so ideally it'd be workspace at the front, party time (bikes) at the rear. I don't think I'm knocking value off my house, right?
It will need Building Control / Building Regulations approval.
It may not need planning but you should be able to check with your local planning dept fairly easily. It may come under permitted development unless the property/area has them removed for some reason.
