Do you need permission for a mansard loft conversion in Hebburn?

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.

Mansard conversions change the shape of the roof significantly, so they usually need planning permission in England. Many councils publish guidance on mansard design.
