Detailed Planning recently secured a lawful development certificate for a loft conversion at Bedford Road in the London Borough of Barnet. Our client wanted to maximise their home’s potential by transforming the unused attic into a new master bedroom with en‑suite while improving headroom and natural light.
We designed a rear dormer and hip‑to‑gable roof extension that fall within permitted development limits, so full planning permission was not required. The proposals include internal reconfiguration to create a new staircase and carefully positioned rooflights, along with a dormer to the rear and an extended gable wall to the side. We prepared the plans and volume calculations to demonstrate compliance with Barnet Council’s guidance on dormer volumes and roof alterations, securing approval quickly.
The result will add valuable living space and increase property value without compromising the character of the house or neighbouring homes. If you’re considering a loft conversion or roof extension in Barnet or elsewhere, contact Detailed Planning for expert advice and drawings to ensure a smooth application.
