If you are someone who has just purchased a mid-terrace Victorian house and wish to extend into the attic, you may be wondering whether planning permission is required. Should your home be listed or it lies within a conservation area, full planning permission is mandatory. Loft conversions are often a prominent aspect in a street, meaning that there’s a greater potential in terms of damaging a locale’s special character.
In the case of terraced houses, you can amplify the cubic content of the original, untouched roof space up to 40 cubic metres in total. For a semi-detached house, this increases to 50 cubic metres. To make certain that your new living area possesses an ample amount of light, as well as headroom, a rear dormer window can be implemented. Box dormers are considered by some to be unattractive, but this is the most space efficient approach and makes the loft considerably more useable.
During exterior works, the materials must be similar aesthetically to those used in the initial construction of your home. Raised platforms and balconies aren’t permitted development, due to the potential that they both have for invading the privacy of neighbours. As such, full planning permission has to be applied for.
At Loft Con, we conduct everything from the initial survey, which is free, to the main construction phase. In addition, to ensure that your proposed intentions are allowed, we also see to it that all building and planning regulation applications are taken care of. If you require help loft conversions in Hull, we are the ones for the job.
