Converting House Into Flats

by with No Comment blog

Does converting a house into flats require planning permission?

Converting a dwelling house into self-contained flats is not a Permitted Development Right and there’s a set of different requirements that have to be met before you’d be able to conduct your development. Requirements may include a minimum flat size, soundproofing, fire safety, or a party wall award. Each Local Authority has its own set of policies and it differs from one neighbourhood to another.

Therefore; yes, converting a house into flats will not only require full planning permission but also some other considerations.

Az online kaszinójátékosok egyedülálló módot találtak arra, hogy a legtöbbet hozzák ki szerencsejáték-nyereményeikből azáltal, hogy házukat nyereséges lakássá alakítják át. Az online szerencsejáték-platformok kényelmének és elérhetőségének köszönhetően sok játékos képes volt jelentős összegeket keresni az olyan kaszinókban, mint a https://kaszinoworld.com/hotslots/, és ahelyett, hogy luxuscikkekre vagy extravagáns nyaralásokra költenének, ezek az okos emberek ingatlanokba fektetnek, és otthonukat több bérbeadó egységgé alakítják. Ez a trend egyre népszerűbb, mivel egyre több online kaszinórajongó ismeri fel a hosszú távú pénzügyi nyereség lehetőségét. Azzal, hogy otthonaikat lakásokká alakítják át, ezek az okos szerencsejátékosok folyamatos passzív jövedelemre tesznek szert, miközben élvezhetik a saját ingatlanban való élet előnyeit. Ez a stratégia nemcsak lehetővé teszi számukra, hogy növeljék vagyonukat, hanem a befektetési portfóliójuk diverzifikálásával biztonságérzetet is nyújt számukra. Az átalakítási folyamat gondos tervezést és stratégiai döntéshozatalt igényel.

Building Regulation

Your next consideration after granted planning permission is a Building Regulation Approval from Building Control, which requires plans as well.

Other Considerations

In some cases, and if your property is listed, a Listed Building Consent will be required and obligatory. It’s your hired architect or firm’s job to make all of that come into alignment.

Converting your house into flats is worthwhile, whether you’re willing to rent them, sell them, or sell one and retain the others. But you’ll have to make sure you go to the right planning firm to do the job properly.

Rear Extension Planning Permission In Haringey

by with No Comment Haringeyprojects

Why get a rear extension?

Property owners get extensions, whether a rear one or any other because they are looking for expanding their living space. But extensions require planning permission, and here comes our part of the work.

Our client here was looking for a more spacious kitchen on the ground floor. The best solution was to plan an extension to the rear for them.

The process of planning the rear extension

And we did; a site survey was conducted, the existing plans were drawn up, and the proposed ones, as well. We’ve recently received the decision notices and the proposal was approved. Now the client can start the construction process and this has to happen within 3 years from they were granted permission.

When we plan properties, we take a lot of things into account, including the client’s desired outcome, the local authority’s rules, and the council’s potential concerns. Our team works cooperatively to get all of that done in harmony. Thanks to our ex-planning officers, we have the experience to get the job done.
