We are looking at undoing a garage conversion put in by the previous owners of our house. The conversion essentially adds a garage size area to the lounge as it stands. I understand why the previous owners did it, as they had 3 kids and used the space as a playroom, but we cant see any viable use of the space for ourselves other than to return it to being a garage which would be a huge plus for me....I mean us!
As far as I can tell (from a destruction/construction point of view), it isn't much more than removing the additional brickwork and window that replaced the original garage door, putting a new door in and building a new internal wall to separate the garage from the lounge.
I am hoping someone may have done something similar and can offer any input on my undoubtedly over simplified view of achieving this. I am also particularly interested to know if whether we need to notify planning/building control of our intentions.
