Hello we moved into a house which already had a loft conversion but we would like to turn this into a Dorma to give us more space. Does anyone know if this is viable? Will we need to be planning permission or building control? Also is it better to use the same company who did the origional conversion? I would prefer to use another company personally.


Appreciate any advice you might be able to offer.


Thank

Yes it should be viable.

You probably don't need planning as the dormer can be built under Permitted Development rights (as long as it's not a dormer on the principal front elevation). You just need to check that the previous loft conversion hasn't used up your PD allowance.

You will need Building Control approval, regardless of planning/PD.

Personally I would use a company I preferred rather than the original company...

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      hmmm - I can see the open state field but if I look at the data.attributes.signature_by_country fields I get most coming from USA  The constituencies are all 2million+ UK constituencies But I can't link the sig by country to the constituency in most cases nope you are correct - I misplaced a variable and was looking at why USA was so high - when the Uk was obvious answer   Ok - so my general point that a lot of these sigs are coming from outside UK is incorrect. My bad. Cheers Ian (I still think it's a bit dodgy tho!)

      I've just looked at https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700143.json. Current "signature_count" entries: "open" 2178055 (ie all)  [at line 12] followed by alphabetically ordered lists, the whole country ones first, including "United Kingdom" 2162127 ; then constituencies.

      Jason Arnold -- local plasterer, highly recommended

      By LivEd · Posted

      I truly cannot recommend Jason enough, he took so much time and care with the decorating of my bathroom, even suggesting ways in which I could save money. Jason took extra time to come back and help fit a mirror and do touch ups on what I thought was a perfect job. He is also an incredibly nice guy and always keeps you up to date on progress and when he'll be working. I will definitely be saving his number for future works. His number is 07517 615952.

      The 2 ways I checked (and I'm open to correction on this - I could be wrong) 1 - the  breakdown by county  https://petitionmap.unboxedconsulting.com/?petition=700143 doesn't appear to match the headline number in any close way   2 = The petition data link https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700143.json seems to have a suspiciously high number of non UK entries   (although this ABOUT section may be relevant as well The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.)     can someone else try because I'm done with this guy
