The fees for architects and building regulations, typically required for loft conversions, are approximately £1,300 plus VAT. This comprehensive fee covers the costs associated with engaging architects, obtaining necessary building regulation approvals, and conducting any essential structural calculations.

Typically, the entire process of obtaining planning permission takes approximately 2 to 3 months. The actual planning permission stage usually takes between 6 to 8 weeks, and once granted, building regulations approval can be finalized within an additional 2 weeks.

Planning permission is necessary for certain types of projects such as house extensions, new garages, new builds, and proposed windows. Additionally, building regulations approval is required for converting a garage and constructing a porch over 3 square meters. If you are unsure about whether planning permission is needed, we recommend contacting your Local Planning Office for guidance specific to your project.

In most cases, loft conversions do not require planning permission due to permitted development rights. However, there are specific guidelines that must be followed, including: -A maximum volume allowance of 40 cubic meters for terraced housing -A maximum volume allowance of 50 cubic meters for detached and semi-detached housing -No extension beyond the existing roof slope on the main elevation facing the highway -The highest point of the extension should not exceed the highest part of the roof -Materials used should be similar in appearance to the existing house -No balconies, verandas, or raised platforms are allowed -Dormers should not be on the front elevation facing the road or intruding on your neighbour's privacy -Side-facing windows should be obscure-glazed with the opening positioned at least 1.7 meters above the floor -Roof extensions, except hip-to-gable conversions, should be set back at least 20cm from the room's edge -The permitted development limit of 15% of the original size should not have been reached by previous extensions to your house Please note that these guidelines serve as a general overview, and it is advisable to consult with professionals or your Local Planning Office to ensure compliance with specific requirements for your loft conversion project.
