Planning and Regulations

On most occasions Leeds Loft Conversions can carry out the construction phase under 'permitted development', which does not require planning permission. The exception to this would be loft conversions to flats and properties in conservation areas. Also loft conversions that exceed 'permitted development' requirements, which are 40 cubic meters for a loft on a terraced roof and 50 cubic meters on a semi-detached or detached property will usually have to go through planning permission.

Leeds Loft Conversions are used to dealing with Building Control and we will complete all necessary paperwork for you. The costs for this are detailed within your quotation.

Without planning permission, it usually takes around 2 - 4 weeks to start the construction phase. This also depends on whether you have 'party wall agreements' in place (if needed) and all structural calculations and plans to hand. If your property requires planning permission, then it will roughly take anywhere from 8 - 12 weeks before we are able to commence any building work.

Leeds Loft Conversions' advisors will be able to help guide you on any restrictions or concerns when they visit your property for a site survey. From side and rear dormer loft conversions to full hip to gable loft conversion projects, Leeds Loft Conversions are on hand to visit your home, measure up and provide you with advice on what options may be feasible.
