Understanding of Your Loft Conversions Planning Process
Most of the Loft Conversions process needs permitted development. For, this an application called PD application is submitted to the department. This application can take eight weeks for the approval from Planning department, and after the consent, the certificate of lawfulness is issued. It lasts for life.
- Planning permission is required for the flats and maisonettes as they do not have any permitted development rights.
- There are no permitted rights for conservation areas and listed buildings under Article 4, so they also need planning permission.
- Building regulations and structural engineering designs are required for all the projects; before starting the work, this is submitted as a second application and is a must.
Tips for Loft Conversions
- It is necessary to inform the freeholder if you are not the one, and we can help you provide descriptions and plans needed for them.
- Must is taking all the relevant approvals before starting the actual work, whether your project is permitted. Because sometimes the council can out the article 4 which neglects the legal rights and can cause an issue for you. So, getting the approvals is the best.
- No doubt the planning department is SLOW, allowing 12 weeks for the design, submission and application to be approved by them.
- In most cases, party wall agreements are required; a party agreement is necessary to insert anything structural like steel beams.
- Always plan! There is no doubt that designs, fixtures and fittings are vital. Everything from lightings to sockets, kitchen tiling and bathrooms should be scheduled before the construction work starts. It would be best to have ideas about what you want in mind and should not jump from one idea to another. It can disturb the working pattern, affect the budget you have made, and cost you more than you have planned.
Different Loft Conversions Ideas
Here are some of the ideas for your Loft Conversions that you can choose depending upon the requirements of your property.

Mansard
If we talk about the period properties where planning permission is granted, and it is necessary to consider the local housing style, mansard will suit them best. A flat roof is involved in this design, which means the large areas of full head height manoeuvrability. This extension has small windows for drawing light into the Loft Conversions. This is one popular Loft Conversions style all over the UK.
Hip to Gable
Between the dual-pitch roof, the gable is a triangular portion wall. This wall’s placement and shape are an aesthetic concern and depend on the structural system. So it the shape of the gable relies on the type of roof. You can choose this option if you want something simple yet classy.
Roof light
Roof windows are no doubt an attractive option for everyone. This is because it can fit along the roof and give a modern and unique look, especially for fans of direct light. There is no need to restructure the roof in this option. This type of conversion can be done under permitted rights, so there is no need for planning permission. But, building regulations are required.
