It is true to say that the majority of loft conversions in London can take place without first needing to get planning permission. This means that in most cases work can begin swiftly. Planning permission for loft conversions in London is only needed in the following circumstances:
• It is a terraced property where the planned extension will exceed 40 cubic metres
• When the property is located on the junction where two public highways meet
• When the property is in a conservation area
• When the property is an official listed building or is in an area which is considered to offer outstanding natural beauty
• When the property is an apartment or flat regardless of it being converted or whether it was built as a flat
Many clients who decide to present their own drawings of their perceived loft conversion find that at the end of the day the drawing is rarely adequate enough to be submitted to a building control officer and often when this happens it can delay the building project.
