Most loft conversions do not need planning permission unless:

•  You live in a conservation area or your house is a listed building;
• You want to put in dormer windows facing the road or if the position of a dormer window would invade your neighbour’s privacy;
• Any part of the conversion (including a dormer window) will be higher than the existing roof;
• Your house has already been extended to the limit of its permitted development (15% of its original size). You may still be able to add a loft conversion even if you have had some extension work done.
• If planning permission is required, we will submit the planning application and the supporting documents on your behalf.

Depending on the complexity of your conversion it would take no longer then 4-6 weeks.

Yes… This is the easiest way to get an extra bedroom, playroom or study. A major advantage of a loft conversion is that most of the work can be done from the outside therefore restricting disruption to your household. A loft conversion will typically cost between £30,000-£50,000 but can add about 13% to your property’s value.

Converting a loft in your home can free up what is essentially dead space and make use of an area that is already available with a little work.
