The most important factor when considering loft conversion is the existing Head space. We recommend that you have a minimum of 2.3 Meters (8 foot) from the top of the ceiling joist to underside of the Loft ridge board. Please see photo below.

Most loft conversions and extensions can be done without the need for Planning Permission. We would always advise getting a Certificate of Lawfulness from your local council. This is written confirmation from your local council that the new conversion is Permitted Development and does not require full permission.
If your loft conversion does require planning permission, the usual criteria and justification will have to be met. Main points of consideration will be overlooking, dominating and keeping in character (size and scale) to its neighbours. We will consider all planning policies both national and local when designing your loft conversion.
