Your Loft Conversion: A Quick Overview

Transforming your loft can unlock significant new space in your home, completely changing how you use it. Many loft conversions qualify as 'permitted development', which means you typically won't have to apply for planning permission.

However, this is only true if your project adheres to specific rules and conditions. Even if your plans don't need planning permission, you will almost always require approval under Building Regulations.

These regulations are vital because they ensure that when you convert your loft or attic into a room suitable for living, it is safe, well-built, and meets all necessary structural standards.
