Neoc Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) Hello I have a planning permission for a garage and a porch conversion for my semi. Currently I have a pitched roof on my garage which will stay the same after conversion, and have a decent amount of space in the garage loft for a small room - circled in the picture below. Do I need a planning permission and building regs for converting the garage loft into a small box room once the conversion concludes ? I have been told by my builder its not required as its internal but I want to be on the right side of the law. The stairs to this box room will be from the converted garage Edited January 10 by Neoc extra info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 So what is your planning permission for? And why isn’t your box room part of that application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neoc Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Planning permission was for garage conversion to a room and the porch. I have realised after the permission that there is an opportunity to put the loft also for use which is an afterthought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I would guess your builder is right, even with a velux window but it might be worth changing your permission (others here will know more about that) and include a dormer on that roof to give more room.
