5. Loft Conversion FAQs
Many hip-to-gable and rear dormer lofts fall under Permitted Development, subject to volume limits (typically 40m³ for terraced and 50m³ for semi-detached or detached houses) and other conditions.

We check your property and advise which route applies, and can prepare a Lawful Development Certificate application.
