Question

Would i need planning permission if i am using existing space to create a 2nd bedroom

If window is on the side of the house and below 1700 then worth a call to planning office.higher windows I feel sure planning isn't required but building regs  are.
Don't get confused with the 2 both are separate entities

Hi, you now need planning permission  to divide an existing living space

Anthony · Answer

Hello,

You would need planning permission if you had to put an a window to the new room.

Otherwise alterations to the existing floor plan, would be allowed.

Please do not forget, you will still need to involve Building control at your local borough council. 

Hope this helps

Kind regards,

Tony

if that will affect the structure of the building yes

Reece · Answer

No, you won't as long as it's 6ft or less so bear that in mind.

Jason · Answer

No is the simple answer as long as you are not changing the external appearance, any work would how ever have to comply to current building regulations and to be classed as a bedroom it has to be a minimum size set by the governments amenity standards and it also has to have a window

You would not need planning permission if you are using an existing space to create a 2nd bedroom. You would need planning permission if the building is listed.

Michael · Answer

If the space existing is built on and part of drawings and no part of a load bearing wall being taken down or added to you don't need planning.
