Planning Permission & Building Regulations
Most garage conversions in Wolverhampton are covered by permitted development, provided you're not extending the footprint. We recommend applying for a lawful development certificate — it costs around £120 and gives you formal evidence of legality for future resale.
Building Regulations always apply. Wolverhampton building control will need to sign off on insulation (Part L), ventilation (Part F), fire safety (Part B), electrics (Part P) and structural changes. We manage the entire building control process, including inspections and the completion certificate.
Larger structural alterations — knocking through load-bearing walls, altering the roof line, converting to a self-contained annexe — may need a full planning application. We'll tell you which category your project falls into on the first site visit.
