Apologies if this is a straightforward query or if it has been asked previously (I couldn’t find a previous thread directly on point).
The garage on our house was converted before we bought it and is now an en-suite bedroom. I would like to give it its own front door, which would involve taking the big window out and installing a door and ideally a smaller vertical rectangular window beside the door so the room still gets some natural light.
I assume planning permission is required if I’m altering the front of the house? If this is correct, is it best to go to an architect to handle? To me, it seems like a very small job (i.e. it’s not a garage conversion, but just a change to the front of the house that will involve taking out a window and installing a door and smaller window) so would an architect have any interest in it? We are in the South Dublin County Council area if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
