Got your own vision? We’ll help you bring it to life.
Do You Need Planning Permission?
Most garage conversions in York do not require planning permission if:
  • You’re not increasing the size of the building
  • The structure is already part of your property
  • You’re not altering the roof height
This falls under Permitted Development Rights, but some exceptions apply:
  • If your property is listed
  • If you're in a conservation area
  • If there’s a planning condition restricting garage use
We handle all planning checks for you — for peace of mind.
What About Building Regulations?
All garage conversions must comply with UK Building Regulations, even if planning isn’t needed. These include:
  • Insulation & thermal performance (Part L)
  • Ventilation (Part F)
  • Fire safety (Part B)
  • Structural alterations (Part A)
  • Drainage & plumbing (Part H)
  • Electrics (Part P)
We work with building control officers throughout your project to ensure full certification on completion.
