"He told the BBC he felt a little bit betrayed and confused over what to do next, with 12 months remaining on their current mortgage. The couple are planning to remove the insulation themselves, having been quoted £4,000." Plastic scraper, the sort you might use to defrost your windscreen.... (I think you can get these from the pound shop) and some bin bags.... job done "Robbie, 38 had spray foam fitted in 2021 with the entire £5,733 cost covered by the Green Homes Grant scheme" Camera pans back to the couple with tears rolling -
In the 5 times we've needed to use Southwark Planning across 2 different properties, we've found them to be slow and and very hit and miss. Results very much depend on how busy they are generally, and who gets assigned to your application. They also seem to be much more 'flexible' with business applications, and more picky with residential ones. Your mileage may vary. My main piece of advice would be to find similar properties in the immediate area that have loft conversions already, and include those in the supporting documentation as examples of precedents near you to help yours through. We're also a corner plot (and end-of-terrace - double whammy) and though we wanted to do a loft conversion (one of the reasons we bought the house before knew) we ended up not putting in permission when we heard Southwark is trying to preserve the roof type on the Victorian house in our area (London / butterfly roof). Several other neighbours have tried, but all ended up withdrawing when it became clear it wasn't going to happen. Might be worth seeing if you can speak with the someone in Planning. If you do find one that's willing and knowledgeable, they'll be able to tell you if you're very likely to not get it based on the house, your location, your plan, which could save you a chunk of change. But they'll also be very clear that they can't make any promises to you either way without full planning being put in.
