DO I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION FOR A LOFT CONVERSION?

The requirement for planning permission is usually not necessary for a loft conversion that will not create massive alterations on your property. This is because the construction involved is usually under the right permitted development. There are several factors that play in the acquisition of planning permission, one of which is if your house is situated in a conservation area. It is better to check if your property is in a conservation area or not because in this case, you will be required to secure planning permission first before the construction commences. Planning permission will also be demanded if the loft conversion will extend your house’s current roof space. Several types of loft conversion will involve this kind of structural change so it is better to consult with your loft conversion specialist if the loft you want will require this document so there won’t be any inconveniences while the construction is ongoing.

WHAT IS THE PROCESS OF A LOFT CONVERSION?

If you’re curious about how a loft is converted, you can simply check with your builder about the process they’ll do to accomplish the project. It will be beneficial for you to make yourself familiar with the general process of how a loft conversion is completed. Firstly, the area that you want to convert will be inspected. The measurement of the floor area and roof space should at least match the required size of your chosen type of loft conversion. After the area’s scope is determined, the planning of the construction and design will then begin. In this step, you must be fully involved because it’s you who will be using the room. Make sure that your ideas are well-acknowledged so you can have the loft space you want. Documents that are needed in the loft conversion will be obtained after, then finally, the construction will commence. You may want to leave this to the expert but it is still best if you can check how the project goes on. You may also choose to leave your house for a while and come back once the loft conversion is complete.
