 Planning a Loft Conversion

Permitted development rules apply to loft conversions. In general, you need planning permission for a loft conversion if it exceeds 40 square metres. If your conversion is for the sole purpose of adding a room, you’re required to follow the rules about the number of windows in the loft. You also need to consider whether you need to gain consent from other owners or from the developer. Once you’ve obtained permission, you can begin your loft conversion project.

While loft conversion plans don’t specify where the stairs should be installed, you should make sure you consider the height of the staircase. The best location is either above the first floor staircase or halfway up. The latter will give the illusion of an open space on both floors. Make sure to consider where you’ll place storage, furniture, and the stairs within the loft. Finally, make sure you decide how you’ll bring light into the loft. There are many options for doing this: installing natural lighting from the roof or artificial lighting through a dormer window.
