" The first thing that I would say is that it is very rare, almost impossible to find builders who will deliver what they promise.
It was a pleasure dealing with the lads, especially Graham, who made sure that all our needs were fulfilled.
Thanks for all your hard work! "

not every dormer loft conversion has to have planning permission
If your only going to have a velux skylight loft conversion, then you will not need planning permission. You will however still need to have plans drawn up for building regulation approval.
Also not every dormer loft conversion has to have planning permission, in fact in many cases they can be constructed under permitted development.
However planning permission will be needed when:
You intend to extend the roof and your house lies within a Conservation Area, a National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or the Broads.
The work would make some part of the house higher than the highest part of the existing roof.
The dormer or other addition you want to build would extend beyond the plane of any existing roof slope facing the highway.
A roof extension would add more than 40 cubic metres to the volume of a terraced house or more than 50 cubic metres to any other kind of house.
Additional volume created by an extension – including roof extensions - will count against the total volume limit for your house. For example, if you have already extended your house – and that includes conservatories - you may have already used up your volume extension limits.
If your in any doubt of whether or not your potential loft conversions going to need planning permission just give us a call on 0800 505 3344
The beautiful thing about dormer loft conversions is that they really open up your roof space, and give your loft conversions a real sense of character.
Dream loft conversions can create you a stunning en-suite dormer loft conversion, or even if your loft is big enough an extra two bedrooms with a separate bathroom - Most bungalows have these types of loft conversions done.

If it is an extra bedroom that you want then let one of our experts come round and discuss what options are available to you. We will discuss things like Building control inspections, Staircase positioning, New floor joists, insulation, building regulations on fire safety and means of escape etc..
Loft conversions do require plans to be drawn up and submitted for building regulation approval. Many people get confused with building regulation and planning permission, so let me make it easier to digest.
