Our house has a large garage which has been converted into living quarters.

If we ran central heating into it and connected it to the house via a small passage would we need any planning permission.

Also, if it was rented to the council, would they consider it a genuine 4 bed?

If your garage has been converted the local councill should have sent a building inspector before the builders started.

Done it without asking the council. But isn't there a law which states that if its there for long enough with no complaints or any issues it automatically becomes OK.

If it is regarded as a temporary structure, I think maybe the council have the right to insist you take it down should you vacate the property.

If you had applied for planning permission before starting the conversion,would it have been granted?

I'm surprised Esso haven't complained about you converting their garage.
