Essential planning, building regulations and party wall information for homeowners considering a loft conversion or extension.
A loft conversion is generally considered permitted development, not requiring planning permission, subject to volume allowances and conditions. It is advisable to confirm in writing with the local authority whether permission is required.
Building Regulations approval is required if a loft conversion provides extra living accommodation, installs roof windows, forms a permanently accessible floored storage area, or involves removing or modifying structural members.
The Party Wall Act 1996 places obligations on homeowners carrying out work involving a party wall, requiring statutory notice to be served on adjoining owners.
