Hello,
I was hoping I could get some advise on a garage conversion which I would like to do on my own property. The main complication which I'm not sure about is that my garage is attached to my neighbours garage, not my detached house. See attached pic.
My assumption here is that i would need planning permission if I wanted to change the front fascia of the garage (remove garage doors and brick up with maybe a window). I'm also not sure if this would even be allowed if I was to fully convert the garage to a habitable living space with heating since it's attached to my neighbours property. I've read elsewhere that some people leave the front and then create a partition internally to separate the spaces. Then all that is required is building regs for any openings, services, etc..
I've also heard I need to have at least 2 private parking spaces before planning would be accepted. Any advise, first steps much appreciated.
