Planning and Regulations for Loft Conversions

Most loft conversions rarely require planning permission. Building regulations are always required when converting your loft.

A roofline conversion doesn’t alter the shape of the roof on the outside. Velux windows are installed to provide you with light and ventilation.


Dormer loft conversions sometimes requires planning permission if on the front/roadside of your property or in a conservation area. There are various types of dormer loft conversions which involves extending the outside structure of the roof which creates much needed headroom and space enabling you to get the most out of your loft conversion.
