An outline planning application is a way of finding out whether a planning application is likely to be approved by your local authority. This means you can understand your options without a great deal of outlay on architects’ drawings and the fees for the planning application itself. The proposal does not have to be as detailed as a standard planning application and allows several elements to be approved at a later stage. These are known as reserved matters.

To make sure that new builds, extensions and renovations in the UK are of a universal quality standard, most projects must adhere to official Building Regulations. These are like a set of rules, which in England and Wales became law in the Building Act 1984. They govern things such as the structural integrity of the project and the quality of the materials used. As well as creating a framework to manage risk – ensuring the safety of any future occupants – and meet environmental aims. Just as with Planning Permission, your project would need to be evaluated alongside these objective considerations. With the possibility of securing either a pass or a fail.

Mansard loft conversions are an innovative way of gaining more space in the house you love.

They are built to the rear of properties and change a slanted roof into an almost straight one, giving you plenty of room to play around with the layout. Some Mansard loft conversions can be big enough for two bedrooms and a bathroom too.

With so many of us spending more time at home, everyone is looking at how to maximise their space. If you want to adjust the layout of your home or create a house extension, this type of renovation is always best managed by a structural engineer to ensure it’s viable and safe. If you plan to self-build, it’s critical that you use a structural engineer as you plan. They will assess the structural condition of a property and then recommend and calculate a plan for the types of materials you should use, plus their weights and dimensions. Their work also includes any civil designs required by the project such as retaining walls, road design and drainage needed for Building Control Approval.
