Frequently Asked Question
1. Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
In many cases, loft conversions can be carried out under Permitted Development Rights, which means formal planning permission isn’t required. However, larger or more complex projects may need approval. Our team carefully assesses your property and advises on the best route to secure permission smoothly.
2. How long does the planning process take?
Most planning applications are decided within 8 weeks of submission. Our team ensures your application is prepared correctly, reducing the risk of delays. We handle all communication with local authorities and keep you updated at every step.
3. What is included in your planning service?
Our planning service covers everything from the initial consultation to final approval. This includes measured surveys, planning drawings, submission of applications, liaison with local authorities, and post-approval support to discharge any planning conditions.
4. Can you help if my property has planning restrictions?
Yes. If your home is in a conservation area or subject to special restrictions, we provide tailored planning strategies to give your application the best chance of success. We also work with specialist consultants when required.
5. What happens after planning permission is approved?
Once planning permission is granted, we guide your project into the next stage including structural calculations, building regulations, and preparing for construction. This ensures a seamless transition from design to build without delays.
