Flow and returns usually located under upstairs floorboards.
Run your new feed from them to your new rad.
You can tee off another rad if it is fed from a single 15 mm feed branch off the F & R and your system is up to it.

I should think this would be the same building regulations as the conversatory where the radiator must be controllable.(?)

Well spotted by Masona.
You should fit isolating valves so that they can be turned off before they exit into very cold places.
Comes under energy conservation.
BCOs will cut your legs off if they inspect your job

Even if the garage is being converted to a reception room whith a through room in to the lounge

If you are involving BCOs with your conversion, ask them for advice on whether the isolators will be needed.
Probably not but worth asking anyway
