There are several reasons loft conversions are so popular. The increased demand can probably be traced back to 2015, when government legislation was passed, relaxing planning permission rules. These changes allowed loft conversions in Cheam to be built under permitted development in many cases. Avoiding the the costly and unpredictable process of gaining planning permission.
Loft conversions and roof extensions are a great way of adding extra living space, especially if you don’t have the option of building to the side or rear of your property. In most cases they are considerably cheaper, and quicker to build.than rear or side extensions, which usually involve the additional time and expense of groundworks.
The cost will of course depend on the size and complexity of the build.

Loft conversions in Cheam can, in many cases, be carried out under permitted development and don’t require planning permission, subject to certain conditions. These conditions relate to the size and style of the conversion, ensuring it doesn’t significantly alter the exterior appearance of the house. If the conversion exceeds these limits or if permitted development rights have been removed, then planning permission will be needed.
