Planning permission is one of the most critical steps in any construction or loft conversion project. With our extensive planning expertise, we guide clients through every stage of the process, ensuring smooth approvals and full compliance with local regulations.
Our Approach
The planning process can often seem complex and time-consuming, with multiple layers of local and national regulations to consider. At Loft Experts London, we simplify this journey by providing clear, strategic advice tailored to your property and project goals. Each proposal is thoroughly assessed to identify the most effective planning route, and our team supports you through every step of the application process from preparation to approval.

Proven Results
Our exceptional planning approval rate reflects our commitment to excellence. We consistently deliver successful results for residential and commercial projects, no matter the scale or complexity.
Beyond Approval
Our commitment extends well beyond securing planning permission. Once approval is granted, we continue to guide your project through the design and construction phases ensuring a seamless transition, full compliance, and continued progress from concept to completion.
Our Planning Process
1. Initial Consultation
Every successful project begins with a detailed consultation. During this stage, we discuss your vision, requirements, and property potential. Our experts provide initial design insights, outline available services, and give an overview of expected timelines and project costs.
2. Survey & Concept Design
Once the proposal is approved, our team conducts a full measured survey of your property. We then prepare accurate planning drawings and develop concept designs tailored to your goals and local planning requirements.
3. Planning Application Submission
After finalising your preferred design, we submit the planning application through our Planning Portal account to the appropriate local authority. Depending on your project, we can also include high-quality visualisations or 3D renderings to strengthen your submission.
Typically, planning applications take around 8 weeks for a decision, though timelines may vary depending on the type and complexity of your project.
