Planning applications are decided in line with the development plan unless there are very good reasons not to do so. Points that will be looked at include the following: number, size, layout, siting and external appearance of buildings; proposed means of access, landscaping and impact on the neighbourhood; availability of infrastructure, such as roads and water supply; and proposed use of the development. It is not necessary to make the application yourself. If you wish we can make it for you. Anyone can make an application, irrespective of who owns the land or buildings concerned. However, if you are not the owner, or if you have only part-ownership, you have to inform the owner or those who share ownership, including any leaseholder whose lease still has seven or more years to run, and any agricultural tenant. |

Roof type
How is your roof constructed? There are main types of roof contruction, the traditional rafter and purlin or the modern trussed roof. Generally the older type of roof is easier to convert as it has a steep pitch that gives the headroom required. Most houses built before the 1960s will have the traditional rafter and purlin design. Headroom
You need a minimum height As a general rule you will need a minimum height of 2.3 metres across around half of the floor area to make a conversion worthwhile. There in't much point having an extra room if you can't stand up in it! |

Increase the value of your home by 20%
Loft conversions yield numerous benefits for homeowners, which may be the reason for their increasing popularity. Often, up to 30% of a property’s potential space is located within the loft area. Converting the attic will therefore provide a significant amount of room that may be used for a wide variety of accommodation; often a bedroom, bathroom, office, or entertainment room. It is widely perceived that a loft conversion will add a significant amount of money to the value of a property. Whilst the exact figure varies, many credible sources have determined that a professional loft conversion can increase a house’s value by approximately 20%. |
