What rules apply in Rochester?
If your property in Rochester is listed, in a conservation area or on an estate with planning conditions, Medway Council is the authority to check with before ordering.
A new garage door in an existing opening is not normally development needing planning permission in England. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation areas, Article 4 areas and estates where a planning condition restricts changes to the garage.
If the garage already has a socket near the operator position, no electrical notification is needed. A brand-new circuit is notifiable under Part P in England.

Questions from Rochester customers
Do I need to clear the garage?
Please clear the area just inside the opening and along both side walls and the ceiling for the length of the tracks.
Do I need to be home?
Someone needs to be there at the start and for the handover at the end, so we can agree the details and show you how everything works.

Yes. We cover Rochester, including postcode districts ME1, ME2, ME4, ME5, ME7. Installation and visit dates depend on installer availability and are agreed when you book.
Do I need planning permission for a new garage door in Rochester?
