🚨 BIG UPDATE FOR HOMEOWNERS 🏠
Thinking about converting your attic? There have been important changes to planning rules that could make your project much simpler.
From 27th July 2026, many rear and side dormer extensions may now qualify as exempt development, meaning planning permission may no longer be required, provided your home meets the necessary conditions.
What this could mean for you:
✅ No planning application in many cases
✅ Less waiting before work can begin
✅ A quicker, more straightforward route to creating extra space in your home
It’s important to remember that not every attic conversion is automatically exempt. Planning permission may still be needed for certain projects, including:
• Some hip-to-gable roof alterations
• Certain habitable attic conversions
• Homes in Architectural Conservation Areas or other protected locations
Every property is different, which is why it’s worth getting expert advice before making plans.
At The Attic Crew, we’ll assess your home, explain exactly what options are available, and let you know whether your project is likely to fall under the new exemptions.
