What goes into a dormer loft conversion?

Rear dormers on terraced and semi-detached houses are often permitted development in England. We size the dormer to fit the volume allowance, clad it to suit the house (tile-hanging, render, slate or zinc) and fit out the room and en-suite below.

What approvals does a dormer loft conversion need in England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

In England many loft conversions are permitted development: the extra roof volume must stay within 40 m³ on a terraced house or 50 m³ on a semi or detached house, nothing can sit higher than the existing ridge, no dormer can face a road on the main elevation, and side windows must be obscure-glazed and non-opening below 1.7 m.

What should I think about before starting?

Dormers on the front of the house facing a road are not permitted development in England.
Dormer cheeks close to a shared wall can trigger the Party Wall Act.
