If your property is not in a conservation area or is a flat, you have permitted development rights (PD). This means you can usually develop your loft space without needing to gain planning permission. Your development will need to keep within the PD constraints i.e. terraced properties are allowed to develop an additional 40 cubic metres of extra space. Semi-detached and detached properties = 50 cubic metres. Furthermore to this our architect can always advise of the most desirable route to achieve your requirements.

The disruption is kept to a minimum as the work is confined to the loft space and most of the heavy work can often be carried out from scaffolding external to your property. We may have to gain entry for small periods to survey certain aspects at the beginning of the project and towards the end.
