Loft Conversions Earlsfield

Usually, No! Permitted Development rights apply for loft conversions, which means there isn’t a need for planning permission. However, these limitations still apply for your project to go ahead without council approval;

Your house is not on designated land, and it is not listed
The new addition is no larger than 40 cubic metres for terraced homes, and 50 cubic metres for semi-detached and detached homes
The conversion does not extend beyond the plane of the current roof slope at the front of the house facing a highway
Side-facing windows are obscure-glazed and positioned 1.7m above the floor
Other than Hip-to-Gable conversions, all roof extensions need positioning back, as far as possible, at least 20cm from the original eaves
The building material used for the extension must match the existing house in appearance
The loft conversion cannot rise higher than the highest part of the house
There should be no verandas, raised platforms, or balconies

Dormer – the trusty dormer conversion has served the London homes with additional space for decades. Its simplest version is a flat roof style box-shaped structure that affords comfortable head height and floor space. Flat roof and shed roof extensions are the most cost-effective choices. If aesthetics matter more, you can opt for the pitched roof or gable fronted dormers. Dormers are suitable for most types of properties.

Hip-to-Gable – suitable for semi-detached, detached, and end-of-terrace homes, this converts the sloping side of the roof into a gable wall that connects the roof ridge with a new roof. You get more head height and floor space for your attic with this technique. Detached properties that have a roof with two hip ends can have two Hip to Gable conversions.

Mansard – this Parisian inspired design converts an entire plane of your roof to a 72 degrees vertical side with a flat roof. The alteration makes it seem like another storey than an extra room. It is even suitable for mid-terraced properties. You can design a small apartment with the proportions gained by this construction.

Rooflight Conversion – this is the cheapest loft conversion technique. It involves no structural alteration to the roof shape or building out of it. Transformation results from the Velux windows fixed to the roof for natural light, ventilation, and views.
