Planning in Beckenham
Beckenham is in the area of the London Borough of Bromley. Most loft conversions don't need planning permission: they count as permitted development if they stay within the size and design rules. That changes if your house is in a conservation area, or if the council has removed permitted development rights with an Article 4 direction.
Beckenham has several conservation areas, and parts of it, such as Chancery Lane, also have Article 4 directions. If your house is in one, we plan for a full planning application from the start.
- We check your road at the free feasibility visit and tell you straight away if you need a planning application.
- Our in-house architect, Simon Burrows, draws up your loft, and Mark goes through the drawings with you, including whether permitted development applies.
- Every loft needs building regulations approval. We handle it through independent building control, start to finish.
