Dealing with Permission for Loft Conversion and House Extension

You need to learn about all rules and regulations regarding loft conversion and extension when you are on your own. But everything becomes smooth and hassle free when you choose to work, Arcadia Construction, the leading loft conversion and House extension company in Essex and London area. You get access to all the expertise regarding these laws that we have.

What you need for loft conversion?

Permitted development allowance

You do not need planning consent as construction and extension of loft in most houses and bungalows falls under Permitted Allowance category. It is only apartments, maisonettes, and certain other types of structures where this job requires planning consent.

Planning permission

You need to obtain a certificate of planning permission from local authority in your area. This is in case your structure does not fall in the category of permitted development. Authorities decide whether loft conversion in your house is lawful and it should proceed or not. They could take 6 weeks to decide upon the validity of this construction after receiving an application from you. If you are working with Arcadia Construction, we keep in touch with the authorities and follow the advice given by the Planning Officer.

Planning Permission becomes necessary if loft conversion activity in your property affects your neighbours or even the surrounding environment. Our technical advisors take care of these issues before construction begins so that there is no delay in getting the necessary planning permission.

Certificate of Lawful Use

If you want to remove all worries about Planning Permission, it is a good idea to get a certificate of Lawful Use from the local authorities. If you have this certificate it means that your construction is lawful and falls under the category of Permitted Development Allowance. Though obtaining this certificate is not mandatory, it could be asked by your buyers in case you decide to sell your house in future.

House Extension Tex If you have even a little bit of space outside of your home

If you have even a little bit of space outside of your home, your dreams of additional space inside of it and an elegant terrace in the garden where you can organise a BBQ with your friends and family, can become a reality. With Arcadia Construction, quality and elegant house extensions in Essex & Hertfordshire are available to virtually everyone.

Adding living space in your House is now more popular than ever, but many people start their extension project without knowing enough about design, legal matters, construction or planning. Our company can guide you through it, from estimating costs and designing extensions to the permitted development and building regulations.

House extension is an innovative and affordable solution that adds enough space to create a place for yoga practice, working on projects in a quiet and peaceful corner, or entertainment zone. This is exactly what many owners of small houses dream about.

If your house has its own garden or some extra space outside, then a house extension is an ideal way to expand the living space. Using the entire width of the facade, you can expand and renovate your house, for example, by integrating a bi-fold door connecting the yard space and the inside of the house. Typically, such systems are performed in order to combine the living room and dining area.

Moreover, it’s possible to expand the house, and add more light and free space with the help of large glass doors and walls. There is no need to perform colossal amounts of work to fill the house with natural light. In this case, the space inside the house will look infinitely more spacious and bright.

House extensions cost

If you want to construct an extension without too much difficulty and with minimal costs, then you need to choose high-quality but not too expensive materials. Using wood is a great way to create additional space in the house and add a special charm to it.

In a house with a very simple structure and modest size, the expansion option looks pretty stylish. There are many advantages – the added part usually looks very impressive and modern. Brightness and openness are the main advantage of this way of increasing the area of the house.

Of course, it’s rather important to make the transition from the attached part to the main structure more unnoticeable. Arcadia Construction makes extensions so that it is barely noticeable at first sight. Added space can be used as a summer playground, a covered terrace or just a place for rest and entertainment. Undoubtedly, the design of an additional zone in the house brings an undeniable charm to the general situation.

In this case, such an extension does not distort the general appearance of the house.

It is doubtless that this additional space is always designed to change the daily lives of the inhabitants of the house. Such an option does not require large expenses but is very profitable!
Instead of spending huge amounts of money and wasting time searching for the perfect home, you can stay in the existing one, and even add extra space with a little extension. Costs can be minimal, as you do not have to finance the construction or repair of a new home.

So far, Arcadia Construction has completed construction projects designed in a modern style, where glass and metal are the most prominent, or in the traditional version, with extensive use of wood, stone or bricks. Our belief is that every idea can be realised and every building can be extended as long as there is enough free space outside. At the same time, we make sure that the house extensions we create harmoniously combine with an existing structure and its surroundings.

We can advise brilliant extension design ideas and show you how to add space and value to your home.
