The anwer is - it depends. Regulations for planning permission requirements were relaxed in 2008. Generally speaking, mostloft conversions do not require planning permission. However, planning permission will still be required if any one of the following conditions are met:
- you live in a conservation area;
- the conversion changes the external appearance of your property;
- the volume of the extended roof exceeds 40 cubic metres for a terraced property and 50 cubic metres for a semi detached or detached house;
- the loft conversion is into more than two habitable rooms.
- There is no part projecting beyond the front roof slope facing a highway or footpath.
- No part is higher than the highest part of the existing roof.
- It does not include a veranda, balcony or raised platform.

∙ 15y agoThis depends on your local codes. Most of the time ,Yes. Check with the city or county you live in. There are a lot of repairs or building you can get away without inspections and permits. Anything visible to drive by inspectors must be permitted, if you get caught without the permit, then you usually must pay a small fine.

∙ 9y agoThis depends on where your garage is located and what size it is. I suggest going to your local council's website and looking for what you need for planning permission. It also depends on whether you live in a conservation area or not.

Has anyone any idea that loft conversion London is same as home extension?
Technically it is not. Home extension is adding extra space whereas loft conversion is turning unused space into a livable room. Home-owners no longer need to ask permission for loft conversion after the 2008 law, but I'm not sure if that applies to other types of home extensions.
