Permitted development

[pmaLOFTS]

Hi

I am looking to convert my loft with a dormer conversion it will fall within all the relevant criteria to meet current permitted development but, the house has previously had a conservatory built on it, can I still build my loft conversion under permitted development or will I need planning permission?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Assuming that you meet all the other criteria set out in Class B of the Permitted Development Order, the previously constructed conservatory will not have an influence on whether the dormer is PD or not, as the criteria states that the cubic content of the resulting roof space should not exceed the cubic content of the original roof space by 40 cubic metres (terrace properties)/50 cubic metres (in all other cases). The criteria make no reference to any previous additions to the volume of the dwelling as whole.

Regards

Our view is always work out exactly where you think you lie in regard to the GPDO then tell the LPA and get a piece of paper from them confirming they agree.
