Time between planning permission and starting loft conversion
How long after getting planning permission can we leave it until we start our loft conversion?
Expert Trade Answers
Best Answer
"Most of loft conversion can be carried out without planning permission, but you will still need to satisfy Building regulations. It's important to know whether you need planning permission before began, Once you got planning permission, You have three (3) years to start on your development unless a condition attached to the planning permission says differently. If you haven't started the development after three years, you will need to re-apply for planning permission. Please feel free to contact us at inderbajwa1997 gmail.com"

"Hello luke
The current law states that you must start the project within 3 years.
That clock starts ticking on the day that planning permission is granted.
Good luck with it"
