At UKSmartBuild, we proudly follow all of the above best practices.Not all loft conversions or extensions require planning permission. Most properties can proceed under Permitted Development (PD) rights. However, we recommend submitting a PD application to obtain a Certificate of Lawfulness for peace of mind. New developments or homes in conservation areas will generally require full planning permission.
We aim to complete your loft conversion within four weeks, provided all client-supplied items are available on site as scheduled.
