Planning Loft Conversions and House Extensions

Processing a planning permit can take up to 8 weeks, so it’s important to apply as soon as you have chosen your final design.

UK Building Regulations

You don’t always need planning permission for loft conversions, house extensions or garage conversions. Applications depend on the size of the structure and its location on your Maidstone property. To ensure compliancy with the UK Building Regulations in the relevant cases, we must submit applications to the local authorities. Building contractors discuss numerous restrictions pertaining to attic conversions and house extensions before work commences, including:

Advice for New Builds

As with our loft and garage conversions and house extensions, our company meets all necessary requirements for new build projects. New builds intended for vacant plots of land, be it in Maidstone or any other location, require a Detailed Planning Permission (DPP) application. You can check for restrictions prior to purchase or include limitations as a contractual clause. Brownfield areas are likely to receive approval; however, greenfield areas need sanctioning by Kent council officials.

New builds, such as summer houses or garden structures on the grounds of your Maidstone property, need approval depending on their height and proximity to neighbouring buildings. Our building contractors help homeowners to liaise with the Local Planning Authority (LPA) to resolve any issues.
