Hi folk's, just found this forum when searching for advice on the above and I was very impressed with the quality of the responses provided so any assistance on the above would be gratefully received.
I am considering converting the loft of my one bedroom back to back terrace house in Armley Leeds.
I contacted Building control and they advised that I would either have to install a corridor in the living room or fit a sprinkler system into any future conversion.
A corridor is out of the question as there is just not the space and an automated sprinkler system seems a bit drastic for a bit of extra space, especially considering that this requirement is not retrospective so the large majority of similar properties will not have either of the above measures fitted?
Can anyone advise on the accuracy of the above and whether Building Control approval is absolutely necessary if just converting to provide extra storage space?
Many thanks,Will.
