Usable door for garage

Hi,Recently posted about converting garage, due to time going to be in house, cost to do and general uncertainty if right thing to do decided against. Now had the thought of installing double standard (not garge) PVC doors to garage front but keeping the original garage door in place. The door we have now is roller type and noisy, gaps around and would guess not very secure.Being it is on an integral garage it would be nice to have more usable/secure door, car will never go in there but will be easy to put back when selling if required. Would I need planning permission or building regs to do this? Thanks

    When I converted my double garage to a flat I did not need planning permission, but I did need Building Regs. When I then built a double garage elsewhere in the front garden, I needed Planning Permission but not Building Regs, weird!
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
