Old Manor – Loft Conversion
The Project
AC Design Solution was appointed for a mansard loft conversion at a mews property in Old Manor, SW5. The brief was to create additional living space, with planning, structural engineering, Building Regulations and Party Wall surveying handled within the appointment.
The planning process proved more difficult than neighbouring mansard additions initially suggested. Planners rejected the proposed design despite comparable roof extensions nearby, making the assessment of this particular building and proposal the central issue.

Selected architectural drawings, technical details and project views from the coordinated design package.
Planning & Heritage
Neighbouring extensions formed part of the context, but did not establish that the same design would be acceptable at Old Manor. The appointment required planning negotiations alongside technical development of the roof conversion.
Project Outcome
For a mansard scheme where the roof form was revised in response to a conservation-area assessment, see 16 Vivian Road, Bow. Our loft conversion drawings page sets out the drawing stages.
