For most, alterations and extensions can be made within Permitted Development Rights, however unattached conversions to buildings such as stables or garages may require both Building and Planning consent.

A recent project fell within this catogory and had a successful outcome at the Planning stage.

This project converted existing garage/stables that were detached from the main dwelling and was set in a rural location. The increase of floor area combined with the existing, is now 140 square meters. It provides a very comfortable two bedroom unit, and will be an exciting addition to the main dwelling providing occupants with fantastic panoramic views of the countryside.
