Loft Conversion Plans

Its never been a better time to make the most of the space you have in your existing home - and converting your loft is the best way to do it.

Each Loft conversion design is unique and very much depends upon the condition and structural stability of the existing property. The majority of lofts can be converted and can provide you with an attractive new room or rooms in your home,

Loft Conversions are an ideal way to increase the living area of your house, without eating into your valuable space.

Many people do not recognise that a good Loft Conversion design is a guaranteed way of increasing the value of your house by turning your unused attic into a stylish new living space and we can help you do it!

Loft Conversions and Planning Rules

Changes in planning laws mean that many homes no longer need planning permission for loft conversions, but always check with your local council's planning office as to what permissions are required, before you start the work.

In simple terms, a householder can build a loft conversion provided that:

* The cubic content of the extended roof does not exceed 40 cubic metres in the case of a terraced house or 50 cubic metres in any other case.

* Materials used are similar in appearance to the existing look.

* The home is not in a conservation area.

Even if planning permission is not required, the design of your loft must meet Building Regulations.

The local council's Building Control department will also need to see copies of your drawings. Party Wall legislation must also be considered if your house shares a wall with another property.
