are there no issues regards roof spread when you trim out all those ceiling joists, to accept the new stairs?
or is this taken up by the new loft walls?

its all coming along very nicely duzzer!
been watching quietly while waiting on my plans to be okayed.
Can I ask though, I thought the stairway is supposed to be enclosed for fire safety reasons with 30 min fd at the top,or are you allowed to have it open plan as yous appears but have a 30 min fd at the bottom of the stairwell ? (which id much prefer ,like yours appears!).
looking good though duzzer,gives me hope to plod along meself!

Not been through BR but it's got a door at the bottom of the stairs so it still enclosed from other rooms. It doesn't have a banister it boarded out and plastered. It's all finished now just haven't took pics yet.
Are you not intending to? If not, if and when you come to sell, that is likely to cause you a problem - and retrospective approvals are not cheap.
Not looking to sell and the money I spent out on it wasn't expecting to recoup anyway. Won't sell it as a 4 bed house just sell it as 3 bed house. A few people said get fires doors pass it through building regs then put old doors back on. What's the point in that it won't be BR approved either once the doors are taken off. If I was gonna BR it would have done a dormer and it would have cost double the amount it cost.
