  • Plans for loft conversion

    What plans do I need for a dormer loft conversion. Truss roof, built in 2013, 3 bed semi detached, permitted development. I think an architect may be a bit overkill for what I am trying to achieve. I was thinking building regulation plans or can I just do a building notice? I assume I will also need a structural engineer to do the calcs.
