    i think you might need some more research and maybe someone professional who has dealt with it before as this document suggests otherwise ;-

    "an attached garage is treated in a similar fashion to an extension but not all the regulations apply. This is because the garage is not intended for habitable accommodation, eg, there is no requirement for thermal insulation; however like other extensions a garage is required to be structurally sound and have a proper drainage system."
