Loft Conversions are a fantastic way to turn a dark cold space into a bright bedroom. More often than not the loft can be applied for through Permitted Development. This form of planning permission will ensure planning permission is granted. The advantage is that the council cannot refuse the permission. It relies on certain legislation to be adhered to – volume increase, materials, glazing, set-back at eaves amongst others. Once granted the detailed drawings will show the stairs, rooflights, setting out and regulations including fire control.
Dormers / Hip to Gable / Conversion within existing parameters can all be discussed and considered dependent on the current roof layout and the spatial requirements.
