I dont know, but if you get in touch with your local council building regulations department, they should be able to tell you if you havent already tried this. Better to get the info from the horses mouth than rely on something a friend tells you.

I would say yes you do since it will change the appearance of the building from outside

You are going to have to ask the Development Control dept at your council because it is impossible to give you a definitive answer here. The likelihood is 'no', but if you live in a special area (like a Conservation Area), you might need PP.
Garages under 30 square metres external floor area do not fall under the remit of Building Control, so 'no' to that question, unless it is over that size.

wouldnt of thought so, i had mine done but it was attached to the house and building control did get involved. Doesnt do any harm to ask the question
