Permitted development allowance loft?

[Yohi124]

Could anyone please advise on the volume limits under permitted development?
My house already has an extension, and I would like to convert the loft with dormer(s). Is the total allowance under PD 50 cubic metres? And if so is that for all development? Or just extensions? Are loft conversions calculated in this or separately? Thanks

50 for the loft

50 for the loft

Thank you, to clarify its 50 for the loft alone? Ground extensions are seperate from the loft allowance of 50?

Just to note the 50cu.m allowance applies to semi-detached houses and 40cu.m applies to terraced houses.

The PD rules for extensions are different to loft conversions.

Yes the allowance is purely for the converted existing roof, and is distinct from any extension volume.
