Hi all
I’ve put in planning application to extend an existing loft conversion done in the early 70s by about 1.2m to now put on the original external house walls.
As it was done in the 70s, I’m sure there’ll be things that won’t comply now so will need to be stripped back but I was hoping the floor structure would be ok. Main beams are 8”x4” sat on external brick walls and then 8”x2” joist separated from ceiling below stretch front to back
Question is can the timber 8x4s be kept in this day and just be extended by the 1.3m to the external walls?
thanks in advance
