Hi,
First time posting so I hope I can explain everything correctly.
I have huge open space loft (1930 semi). We just recently removed the floor that was there when we moved in and insulated with rolls . However now we do miss storage space. I'm absolutely petrified of heights and I have claustrophobia and I won't go up the ladder or dark places. We are looking into fitting a window or two, boarding up the floor, putting membrane on roof (horse hair fell out so it has finger size holes and we have flies infestation) and insulating roof so we can have nice damp free storage / hobby room. I have checked and I don't need planing permission, neither BC because it won't be used as a habitable room (not loft conversion), but please let me know if you think I need one for anything listed. I however can't find anywhere information about fitting normal permanent stairs. I just want to say on the top of the stairs there will be hatch door so it will be closed when we don't use it. I dont want to spend 30k on storage room but my neighbour will definitely contact council with the first screw going in...
