Taking the Stress Out of Rules and Regulations
Planning permission is often the first thing homeowners worry about when they think about a loft conversion. The good news is that in many cases you won’t need it, thanks to permitted development rights. This means projects can often move ahead faster and with less paperwork, but it’s important to know the details.
When You Don’t Need Planning Permission
Under permitted development rules, many loft conversions can go ahead as long as they meet specific size and placement requirements. For example, dormer extensions are usually fine if they stay within the set limits. In Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire we see plenty of projects move forward this way, saving time and reducing stress for homeowners.
