How is a house-to-flat conversion approved in Wellingborough?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

Dividing a house into flats always needs planning permission in England. Councils assess flat sizes (many use the nationally described space standard), parking, bins, cycle storage and the effect on family housing supply.

What should I think about before starting?

Some councils restrict the loss of family houses or limit flat conversions in certain streets.
Each flat needs its own utilities and metering.
