Basements are a tricky subject when it comes to permission. If you have an existing basement you may not need to apply to convert it into living space. However, you may need to if the building is Listed or in a conservation area. In addition, if you are newly excavating, expanding the space, or making changes to party walls, you will need permission.
We make it easier to understand the planning situation. Firstly we will appoint an architect to look at the property and plans. They can then decide if it is likely you will need permission. The architect will also speak to the local authority to confirm the planning status. If you do need to get permission, we can help you prepare the documents.
While some basement projects don’t need planning permission, every single one will need to meet building regulations. Most importantly basements must comply with requirements for space, heating, lighting, fire safety and means of escape. We can help to prepare building regs submissions.
