    PP is hardly likely to be required. esp with the new rules that have come out.
    BC maybe required. ask your local council.

    the two things are very seperate.
    Get some gorm.

    when i replaced my garage 5 years ago i looked into this and did need planning permission ,so i drew my own plans and submitted them (for a larger garage)and did not knock the old one down until permission was granted.
