Even if your home has not been given any extensions since 1948, you might be next door to a listed building that may get damaged due to your loft conversions. In certain locations this suggests that you will require permission for any modifications which could affect the appearance of neighboring listed properties because of your loft conversions. If planning permission is required and you do not make an application, the authorities can make you remove the extension and return your building to its original state. At the same time, it could result in heartburn and a deep hole in your pocket. Also, you may have to face the situation of seeing your hard work being taken down.

Hence, there is a lot of looking around and research before you start construction of the loft conversion in a bid to enhance the future sale of your property or even to just have some extra space for your family in the house.

All loft conversions need to satisfy the Building Regulations. Your architect and structural engineer need to be up to date with these, however it is always best to submit full plans to the local authority building control department for them to advise on any changes required prior to work commencing. One of the key areas when adding an additional story to a property are the fire precautions needed.
