Planning Permission for Loft Conversion


The good news is that from 1 October 2008, a loft conversion does not require planning permission, as it is considered to be a permitted development. However, there are certain conditions where you need to obtain permission. The limits and conditions for loft conversions in Coventry include:

  • A volume allowance of 40 cubic metres additional roof space for terraced houses
  • A volume allowance of 50 cubic metres additional roof space for detached and semi-detached houses
  • No extension beyond the plane of the existing roof slope of the principal elevation that fronts the highway
  • No extension to be higher than the highest part of the roof
  • Materials to be similar in appearance to the existing house
  • No verandas, balconies or raised platforms
  • Side-facing windows to be obscure-glazed; any opening to be 1.7m above the floor
  • Roof extensions not to be permitted development in designated areas (Designated areas include national parks and the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conservation areas and World Heritage Sites)
  • Roof extensions, apart from hip to gable ones, to be set back, as far as practicable, at least 20cm from the original eaves
  • The roof enlargement cannot overhang the outer face of the wall of the original house.

If there was a previous owner of the house, we must check if any roof space additions done before are included within the volume allowances.
Even if you need planning permission, we obtain it for you. As building contractors & home improvements company in Coventry, we are aware of the formalities to be done. From getting permission to clearing the rubble, we take complete responsibility for the loft conversion. For any queries regarding loft conversions in Coventry, call us today.

Happy Clients

Please read through some of our happy customer's testimonials who have used our extensive range of building services.

The old kitchen was taken out and disposed of. New floor laid and a modern kitchen fitted with all fittings. Honest and trustworthy, we left them to it and went on holiday, any problems or questions we kept in touch. We came back, and it looked perfect. Plus excellent follow up care and finishing touches. Will definitely be using them again.

Joe Fellows

A gentleman from Walker & Cotton arrived to fit some light fittings and sockets. He was on time and was very polite and knowledgeable. He made sure everything was done to my exact liking. All works were checked, and then he cleaned up after himself. I will be using this company again in the near future and would highly recommend them.
