What rules apply in Tyne and Wear?
In England, swapping a garage door for a new one, including an electric sectional door, does not normally need planning permission. Permission or consent can be needed if the house is listed, if it sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction, or if the new door would noticeably change how the house looks from the street. On many newer estates a planning condition removes permitted development rights or requires the garage to be kept for parking, so check your planning history before changing the door or the use of the garage.
Planning authorities in Tyne and Wear include Gateshead Council, Newcastle City Council, North Tyneside Council, South Tyneside Council and Sunderland City Council.
