PLANNING & PERMISSIONS
Permitted Development and Planning Applications
Most types of loft conversions fall under permitted development rights, meaning you won't need local planning permission. These rights encourage homeowners to add valuable living space to existing properties and add value to your home.
Permitted development allows additional volume up to 40 cubic metres for terraced houses or 50 cubic metres for detached and semi-detached ealing properties, dormers on rear extension slopes, and roof lights within the existing roof plane.
Planning Approval Requirements
You'll need planning applications if your home in ealing sits in a conservation area where permitted development rights are restricted, the property is a flat or maisonette, an Article 4 direction covers your street, or your proposed volume exceeds limits.
We check your property's status with Ealing Council during the free consultation and handle planning approval if required. Remember: even with permitted development, you still need building regulation approval.

Hip to Gable Rear Extension Loft Conversion in Ealing
This combination creates maximum usable living space and represents our most requested leading loft conversion type for semi-detached and detached ealing properties. It's one of the leading designs to transform your home and add substantial value to your home.
Creating Open Plan Living Space
A hip to gable conversion rebuilds your sloping side roof into a vertical gable wall, adding immediate headroom and floor area to your loft space. Combined with a flat-roof dormer across the rear extension elevation, you gain a substantially sized room with full ceiling height—perfect for an open plan master suite.
The structural work involves new gable wall construction, steel beams supporting the dormer's flat roof, upgraded floor joists, and a new staircase to building regulation standards. Our architectural drawings show every structural detail your loft conversion builder needs through the design process and project management.
Most hip to gable rear dormer conversions stay within permitted development. The result typically adds 20-25 square metres of usable living space, creating a stunning loft with a master bedroom and en-suite or two smaller bedrooms in your finished loft.

Window Dormer Loft Conversion
A window dormer projects from the roof slope to create a vertical window and localized extra headroom. This dormer loft conversion suits ealing properties where a full-width dormer would look disproportionate or where you need modest additional living space to maximise space efficiently.
Window dormers work particularly well for Ealing's Victorian terraces where maintaining the roofline's character matters. They add space without dominating the rear extension elevation, and many specialist loft conversion experts recommend this approach for conservation areas.
The structural requirements include a steel or timber frame supporting the dormer structure, trimmed rafters, and proper weatherproofing. We tailor the design process to match your property's character and your budget for this extension to your home.

L-Shaped Dormer for Your Ealing Home
An L-shaped dormer combines rear and side dormers, creating maximum space in corner situations. This design suits semi-detached ealing properties where you want to utilise both the rear roof slope and one side—one of the more ambitious types of loft conversions available.
Tailor-Made Open Plan Solutions
The configuration creates a large, well-proportioned room with windows on two aspects. Natural light improves dramatically, and the perpendicular walls make furniture arrangement straightforward for an open plan layout that maximises your living space in the finished loft.
Structural complexity increases with multiple steel beams intersecting at right angles, new walls in two directions, and more complex roof geometry. Many L-shaped dormers require planning applications through Ealing Council because they exceed permitted development volumes. However, local planning officers generally support well-designed bespoke loft conversions for the design of your loft.

Extensions and Loft Conversions: Comparing Your Options
Both options add valuable living space to your home in ealing, but they suit different situations. Understanding costs helps you make informed decisions about which extension to your home works best.
House Extension Benefits
Ground-floor house extensions work better when your roof structure doesn’t suit conversion, you need ground-floor space like a larger kitchen, or garden space isn’t a priority.
Loft Conversion Ealing: Key Advantages
Loft conversions typically offer lower costs—usually 20-30% less than equivalent house extension projects. Faster completion—most specialist loft conversion projects finish within 6-8 weeks. Garden preservation—your outdoor space remains untouched. Planning advantages—permitted development rights make many conversions simpler to approve through local planning across London.
During your initial consultation, we assess both extensions and loft options honestly for your ealing home. We tailor our recommendations to your specific requirements—we don’t push conversions if they’re not the right solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Building Regulation Drawings Essential?
Yes, building regulation approval is mandatory for every loft conversion in ealing. Building control ensures your conversion meets safety standards for structure, fire resistance, insulation, and means of escape.
Building regulation drawings show the technical specification your loft conversion builder follows. They detail steel sizes, floor construction, insulation thickness, staircase dimensions, and fire-resistant materials. Without approved architectural drawings, you can’t legally use the finished loft space.
Do You Need Planning Permission for an Ealing Loft Conversion?
Most ealing loft conversions don’t require planning permission if they fall within permitted development limits—staying within volume allowances and meeting specific criteria for dormer size and window placement.
However, conservation areas throughout ealing have restricted permitted development rights. Properties with Article 4 directions face additional controls with Ealing Council. We check your property’s local planning approval status during our free consultation and handle planning applications if required.
Are You a Fully Qualified Architect?
We’re CIAT Chartered Architectural Technologists, not architects. We specialise in the technical side of building design—exactly what loft conversions need. Our team combines CIAT qualified technologists and structural engineers to deliver complete design and build documentation through a streamlined design process.
Do Loft Conversions Require Structural Reinforcements?
Yes, virtually all types of loft conversions need structural reinforcement. Original loft spaces weren’t designed as habitable rooms, so existing timber joists and roof structure typically can’t support the additional loads required for living space.
Common structural work includes upgraded floor joists, steel beams supporting dormer roofs, additional roof structure elements, and proper foundations for new gable walls. Our structural calculations specify exactly what reinforcement your loft conversion ealing project needs through the design process to maximise space safely.
Does a Stunning Loft Add Value to Your Ealing Home?
Loft conversions typically add 15-25% value to your home in ealing, often exceeding what the loft conversion will cost. Adding a bedroom in areas near Ealing Broadway where four-bedroom houses comman d premium prices delivers strong returns on ealing properties.
