We're thinking of moving house and a few of the places we've seen, we'd like to do a loft conversion or extension. However, we would only buy one of these places if we were absolutely certain of getting the planning permission to do it. Does anyone know if you can/or have experience of getting planning permission on somewhere you want to buy before you actually do so? If so, how do you go about doing it - do you get the plans drawn up and ask the vendors to submit it? Or can you submit plans yourself for a property you don't actually own?
