Loft conversions are one of the most popular home improvements in the UK, adding valuable living space without extending the building footprint. Many loft conversions qualify as permitted development, but those that exceed volume limits, alter the roofline significantly, or are on listed or conservation, area properties require full planning permission.

- Extends beyond the existing roof slope on the front elevation
