Do you need planning permission for
a hip to gable loft conversion?

Usually, hip to gable loft conversions do not require planning permission as they do not affect neighbouring properties because space is being extended upwards instead of outwards. However, there are several conditions that the extension must fit to not require planning permission, including:

  • The extra space does not exceed 40 cubic metres for terraced houses or 50 cubic metres for detached or semi-detached houses.
  • It does not reach beyond the boundaries of the original roof.
  • It does not go higher than the highest part of the roof.
  • The materials are similar to the materials used on the original building.
  • There are no verandas, balconies or raised platforms.
  • Any side-facing windows are obscure-glazed.
  • Any side-facing window openings are 1.7m or more above the floor.
  • Your property is not on designated land, namely national parks, Areas of Outstanding National Beauty, the Broads, conservation areas and World Heritage sites.
  • Loft extensions, except hip-to-gable ones, are set back as far as possible, at least 20cm from original eaves.
  • The extension does not overhang the outer face of the wall of the original house.
