Are loft conversions part of permitted development?
Do all loft conversions fall under permitted development? If not, what are the exceptions?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi yes. If they are under 40m3 on mid terraced houses. If you want a front dormer this will require planning if facing the Highway. If sky lights are used then permitted development it is."

"If your changing your current structures then you need permission.
If you have big or small loft and your not changing the structure just insulate plasterboard floor then you can do without planning permission."
