Loft Conversion Pre Planning Application Assessment Reports by Draw Plans
If you're thinking about converting your loft, one of the first questions is: Do I need planning permission? At Draw Plans, we provide expert Loft Conversion Planning Reports to help you understand the rules and increase your chances of approval.
Whether it's a dormer loft conversion, an attic conversion, or a more complex roof alteration, our reports assess your options and guide you through the loft conversion planning process.
Why You Need a Loft Conversion Planning Report
Most homeowners assume their loft conversion will fall under Permitted Development, but this isn’t always the case. A planning assessment report gives you clarity before you spend thousands on drawings or construction.
Our reports are ideal for:
-
Dormer loft conversions at the rear or side
-
Mansard or L-shaped loft conversions
-
Attic conversions in conservation areas or Article 4 zones
-
Loft conversions involving roof extensions or raised ridgelines
What We Assess in Your Report
Your personalised attic conversion planning permission report includes:
-
Local planning constraints (Article 4, conservation area, listed status)
-
Permitted Development allowances for your property
-
Relevant planning history for your address
-
Precedent decisions for similar loft conversions nearby
-
A clear recommendation on the likelihood of planning approval
We also advise whether a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC) or a full planning application is required.
