Loft conversion planning only is for homeowners who already know they want the extra space and need expert help with the planning route first.
You finish with a clear planning position, the right submission prepared where needed, and the confidence to decide how and when to take your project forward.
The Service
This is the planning stage on its own. We help you understand whether your loft conversion falls under permitted development or needs a full planning application, then prepare and coordinate the right drawings and information for your local authority. Conservation area and borough requirements are factored in, with no construction commitment attached.
We tell you early whether your loft conversion is likely to sit within permitted development or need a full planning application, so you know your route before spending further.
London planning is rarely simple. Long experience across the city means we account for your property type, your borough and the surrounding context when shaping the right planning approach.
This service stays firmly on planning. No assumptions about design development or building work creep in, so you pay only for the support you actually need at this stage.
Once your planning position is clear, the decision becomes simpler. You can choose how and when to progress your loft conversion, with the planning groundwork already handled properly.

Questions
Planning Only covers the planning stage on its own. We review your route, advise on permitted development or a planning application, prepare the necessary drawings and information, and guide you to clear next steps. Construction is not included.
Not always. Many loft conversions fall under permitted development and avoid a full application, while others, particularly in conservation areas or on altered properties, do require planning permission. We assess your specific property and confirm the likely route early.
Yes. Where your loft conversion qualifies as permitted development, we explain what that means for your project, confirm the conditions that apply and prepare the supporting information you need, helping you avoid an unnecessary planning application.
No. Planning Only focuses purely on the planning route and the information it requires. If you later want design development or a fully managed build, our other service options cover those stages, and the planning work transfers smoothly.
