Thanks for posting such lovely pics.... just today i was seriously contemplating from moving my business to my garage. I am now totally convinced. Gonna have a talk with the hubby as soon as he gets home from work. :wink2:
You don't need planning for a garage conversion. You have to pay the council I think it was about £350 and they send out the building inspector to check the work. I had my outside toilet wall cut through as it was behind the garage which was handy but the only person I had to get to check was environmental health lady for the council because I do ear piercing and you have to be registered and have hot water on site. For other beauty treatments she said they don't have to check. Hope this helps.

Not sure if this link will work but it's about planning for garage conversions.

We definitely had to have planning permission. However, I've just read back over it and it was because a previous extension included the condition that if we were ever to add a window in the future we needed to gain permission. So, make sure you read any old planning documents you might have.

I'm putting in a pre planning application form for my garage conversation. Taking the door off putting French doors in, making a separate treatment room & toilet. Anybody know under new building regulations will the toilet need to be disability accessible with me changing the use of the building from residential to commercial aswel?
I'm not sure but I think you're better to keep it as residential otherwise you have to pay business rates. If you use the room for home stuff, ie. toilet, TV room etc. Then it's not totally business.

Will I not get Into trouble? Haha. It's quite a busy road & if my neighbours may complain about parking could they potentially close me down?
My mum is a wig maker and has been working at home for over 20 years. She works in her kitchen extension but as it's not only used for business she doesn't pay business rates. It's all legal, check online.
This is my Garage 
I love it!!
I have a partition wall, leaving approx 5 ft for storage at the front so technically it's still a garage and no planning permission was required nor do I pay business rates as there is not a separate entrance
