loft conversion Design & Drawings

Our design Staff will directly arrange a date & time convenient for you, to visit your home, carry out a survey & assess your needs. At this stage, we will be happy to discuss your requirements & the design options available. In addition, we will explain any Local Authority requirements or restrictions that may apply as well as advising on matters such as Building & Fire regulations & party wall requirements.

If you have already made use of an Architect/Surveyor who has provided plans & possibly even Local Authority Consents, we would be pleased to provide a formal quotation based on your own design.

Council permission & planning.

All Loft Conversions of whatever size, style or complexity require Building Regulations Approval.

Some Loft Conversions require formal planning permission, for instance properties designated as being ‘multiple occupancy’ (such as flats) or if the property falls within a designated Conservation area. Our designer will advise if formal approval is required & if so, which scheme is most likely to be successful.

Where Loft Conversions fall within the criteria of Permitted Development, it is recommended that a certificate of Lawful Development (CLD) be obtained from the Local Authority, the application for which can be made by ourselves on your behalf.

Extension suitability

There are a number of factors that affect your house’s suitability for an extension.

Area & Neighbours

Area - if your house is in a conservation area or a district with planning restrictions, you may have more limited extension options.

Neighbours - your direct neighbours will have a say in whether your plans negatively affect their quality of life.

Budget

Your plans should ideally give a decent return on your investment with regard to property value & living space.

Consulting Services

We can offer a full consulting service which communicate with the Local Council Authorities/Building Control or we can use a Private Regulations Office which works along side the Local Authorities.
