Hey guys.
I’ve currently got a planning application in for a loft conversation, of which we’re having trouble with the planning lot despite what most houses around here have got.
Now with a baby on the way, we’ve decided that the loft is out of the question for now, but will still go ahead with the planning as we can make a start within the 3 years.
Instead, we’ve decided to go for an extension on the rear of the bungalow, of which I would like to do myself.
I’ve figured out that it will come under PD, but needs building regs.
I’ve got all the ideas in my head, I mean, it’s just an extension coming out 2m out the back, but do I NEED to fork out on having proper drawings done?
What do I NEED to get to make sure this is done legitimately and safely?
I’m sure I’ll need a structural engineer for a steel for the roof to come off from, but as for the actual structure, I’d almost make it up as it goes.
Any pointers?
Thanks.
