Planning Permission

Now unless you live in a protected area, you probably won't need planning permission if the total area of the additional space doesn't exceed 50 cubic metres (40 cubic metres for terraced houses) and doesn't extend higher than the current highest point of the roof. So if your conversion does need planning permission, get your application in early to avoid delaying work. Loft Conversions Harrogate would advise you to avoid things like increasing the height of the original roof as this will incur a significant additional cost and will almost certainly require full planning permission. At Loft Conversions Harrogate, we understand they are usually cheaper than a typical extension, the building work is less disruptive and in most cases planning permission is either not required or is fairly straightforward to acquire.
