Existing Loft Conversion to Dorma. Any advice?

Recommended Posts

Hello we moved into a house which already had a loft conversion but we would like to turn this into a Dorma to give us more space. Does anyone know if this is viable? Will we need to be planning permission or building control? Also is it better to use the same company who did the origional conversion? I would prefer to use another company personally.


Appreciate any advice you might be able to offer.


Thank

Yes it should be viable.

You probably don't need planning as the dormer can be built under Permitted Development rights (as long as it's not a dormer on the principal front elevation). You just need to check that the previous loft conversion hasn't used up your PD allowance.

You will need Building Control approval, regardless of planning/PD.

Personally I would use a company I preferred rather than the original company...

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
