Hi
I have a 3 bed semi with a single garage next to it.
Over the years, previous owners have covered up the Lean To (3ft wide) between the house and the garage. Also doors with locks have been put to the front and back of the Lean To.
From the front it appears as if the garage is attached because the garage/lean-to front roof and gutters are attached to the main house.
I am planning to convert the garage into a gym/home office with toilet.
There is no planning restriction to keep the garage as a carport. There is also no covenants in the title deeds. The property is ex council 1950s.
Questions
1. Is this a permitted development to convert garage into gym/home office. It will require the garage door to be replaced with wall + window.
2. The Lean To has the gas meter. The Lean to itself hasn't been built over or anything except for the doors on both ends of the lean to. When building regs are done for garage conversion, will they ask me to relocate the gas meter elsewhere?
Thanks in advance
