I had the attached garage door replaced with a UPVC unit, 1/3 door and 2/3 panel both top halves obscured glass and bottom "planked" panel. All fitted into the existing frame so a simple task to remove and refit a garage door if ever that became a choice.  Loads of light in the workshop / store.

Did you need planning permission/building regulations to do this? I'm considering doing the same as the up and over door can only be opened from the inside and needs replacing, but I'd prefer to make the integral garage warmer as it's only used for storage, fridge and freezer, and we'd like to put some gym equipment in there. At the moment there is no natural light and it's a bit draughty.
