Planning Secured in High Wycombe. Last time this A Planning Secured in High Wycombe. Last time this Art Deco house was refused.
Raman is on site in the conservation area. Single-storey side extension, pulling existing storage into a kitchen and living space that runs through to the back, with the kitchen and outbuildings grown on the other side for extra family room.
A side extension in a conservation area is not permitted development. It needs a full householder application.
Save this if a previous scheme was turned down and you still need the space.

Planning Secured in Hillingdon. The shop stays. Th Planning Secured in Hillingdon. The shop stays. The roof does the work.
A shop with a flat above had a dead roof void. Shopfront and ground-floor unit stay as they are. Behind the existing gable the roof is raised, rooflights pull daylight in, and a rear dormer gives full-height living space. Kitchen moves to the front so a new stair can reach a third bedroom.
A loft conversion on a flat above a shop needs planning permission. Class B permitted development covers houses, not flats.

Save this if you own both the shop and the flat and the roof is still storage.

Most people start with one idea. A loft. A rear wa Most people start with one idea. A loft. A rear wall. A garage they never park in.
Swipe through the work ART Consultants take from first conversation to drawings a builder can use. New-build applications, loft conversions, rear and side extensions, garage conversions, change of use, then building regs and structural plans.
In England, many loft conversions sit under permitted development if the extra roof volume stays within 40 cubic metres on a terrace or 50 on a semi or detached house. Building regulations still apply either way.
Save this if you are still choosing which route fits the house you already have.

They needed three bedrooms. The house in Feltham w They needed three bedrooms. The house in Feltham was a two-bed.
Raman walked the finished job. Rear extension at the back, formal reception at the front, one large kitchen-diner-living for the family, a ground-floor shower room, master with ensuite, and two single rooms for the children.
A rear extension plus an internal replan can turn a two-bedroom house into a three-bedroom family layout without leaving the street.
Save this if you are weighing extend versus move in Feltham or Hounslow.

We pushed the staircase back. That is how this Har We pushed the staircase back. That is how this Harrow hallway got its metres back.
Raman is on site for a large rear extension and a loft that is already in. Old partitions are out. New ones are up, so both first-floor bedrooms actually work, with a sliver of office space on the same floor and the master heading upstairs.
A loft conversion adds habitable rooms in the roof. A rear extension adds them on the ground. Doing both at once only pays if the middle of the house is replanned too, which is what the staircase move is for.
Save this if you are weighing a loft, an extension, or both in Harrow.

What would one extra room really do for your morni What would one extra room really do for your morning routine?

This mid-terrace in Feltham was a compact 2-bed. Now it's a 3-bed family home with a full loft master suite, en-suite bathroom, brand new kitchen diner, and a design trick on the landing that makes the whole first floor feel twice the size. Instead of a solid wall at the top of the stairs, we opened it up so natural light floods through the space. Small detail. Massive difference.

The client also has a single storey rear extension approved and ready to go when the time is right. Plan it once, build it in stages. That's how smart homeowners get the most from their property.

Loft conversions on mid-terrace houses are one of the most cost-effective ways to add a bedroom and genuine value in London and the Home Counties. Talk to us if you're weighing it up.

What would an extra bedroom, en-suite and built-in What would an extra bedroom, en-suite and built-in storage actually look like in your home?

We visualised the full journey. Outside: roof stripped, rear dormer built, slate cladding fitted. Inside: bare rafters transformed into a proper master suite with oak floors, recessed lighting and fitted wardrobes.

A well-planned loft conversion can add up to 20% to a property's value, often without needing full planning permission under permitted development.

Save this for when you're ready to explore yours.

What could your home become if you used the space What could your home become if you used the space at the rear and side?

This AI-assisted concept follows a detached UK house from the first planning lines to a connected single-storey rear and side extension.

A rear and side extension can create valuable ground-floor space, subject to the plot, boundaries and the correct planning route.

Save this as inspiration for your own home renovation.

What's the one part of your home that's basically What's the one part of your home that's basically dead space right now?

A garage nobody parks in. A loft full of boxes nobody's opened in years. A ground floor layout that stopped making sense the day the family got bigger. Most of it can become something genuinely useful, the real question is which route gets you there without months lost to the wrong process.

Swipe through for the full picture: structural plans and building regs, change of use, garage and loft conversions, rear and side extensions, new build applications, and the process that joins it all together, from a rough idea to something a builder can actually start on.

One thing worth knowing before you start Googling: in England, a lot of loft conversions, garage conversions and single storey rear extensions can go ahead under permitted development, though building regulations approval is still needed either way, and conservation areas or flats change the rules.

Save this one for whenever the "should we finally extend" conversation comes up again.

A flat garden. A tired shopfront. An ordinary terr A flat garden. A tired shopfront. An ordinary terrace. None of them looked like much before someone worked out what was actually possible.

These are concept visuals rather than finished jobs, but they show the kind of jump a proper planning strategy can make: a garden turning into a glass-walled extension, a shopfront becoming a proper storefront again, a terrace gaining a whole extra floor without losing what made it a period home in the first place.

The gap between "wouldn't it be nice" and "when can we start" usually comes down to getting the planning right early.

Save this one if you've got your own before sitting in the back of your mind.

This was a two-bed bungalow in Runnymede. Right no This was a two-bed bungalow in Runnymede. Right now it's down to one original wall.

Raman walked us round the site this week as the side extension, rear extension and full roof raise start taking shape, turning a modest two-bed into a five-bed family home with two reception rooms and a proper kitchen and living space. Groundworks are in, blockwork has started, and the first floor and roof come next.

A double storey side extension plus a full roof raise sits well outside permitted development, so this one needed full planning permission before anything could start. Planning Secured, and now the real transformation begins.

Follow along, there's another update coming once the first floor goes up. Fancy a chat about your own project? admin@artconsultants.uk or 07960 071377.

Most people think a planning consultancy does one Most people think a planning consultancy does one thing. We do eight.

From loft conversions and rear extensions to full new builds and change of use applications, every project across London and the Home Counties runs through the same team, from the first planning application to the final building regulations sign off. No juggling separate architects, planning consultants and structural engineers. Just one process, start to finish.

Which of these is on your renovation list? Tell us in the comments, we read every one.

This was a garage nobody used and a loft nobody vi This was a garage nobody used and a loft nobody visited.

Now the garage is a sociable open-plan kitchen and dining space, and that dead loft is a full master suite with its own ensuite. A full-width rear dormer gives it real head height and daylight, without changing a thing at the front of the house. Planning secured, drawings finished, and this Southall home just gained a whole extra storey of living space.

Save this one if your garage or loft is currently doing nothing for you.

This loft used to be dead space. Now it's a full b This loft used to be dead space. Now it's a full bedroom and shower room.

Planning's secured for a Heston home that adds a whole new floor without extending the footprint or touching the front of the house. Downstairs opens up into proper open-plan living, upstairs keeps all four bedrooms exactly where they are, plus a new shower room on the landing. Proof a loft can do more than store Christmas decorations.

Save this one if you've ever wondered what your own loft could become.

This shop in Birmingham is about to get two new ne This shop in Birmingham is about to get two new neighbours.

Above it sit two empty upper floors that haven't been used properly in years. Raman walked the site this week with an existing client, working through how a new staircase and a single dividing wall turn that dead space into two self-contained studio flats. Converting space above a commercial unit into separate homes usually comes down to one thing: a properly separated staircase and structure plan that satisfies building regulations.

Save this if you've got unused floors above a shop or unit of your own. There's more coming as these two flats take shape.

Not every site visit is about starting something n Not every site visit is about starting something new. Some are about fixing what's already there.

Good morning from the road to Birmingham, where we're heading to see two sites for an existing client, a building company who took this project on and have hit a snag with their current professional team. Add in some new requirements from the client along the way, and today is really about untangling where things stand and what needs redesigning to get it moving again.

Ever had a project change shape halfway through? Tell us in the comments, we're curious how common this actually is. Part two lands Tuesday.

What would you actually do with two stores and a c What would you actually do with two stores and a cloakroom nobody uses? Follow along to see how this High Wycombe homeowner answered that question.
 
The entire ground floor storage wing became a dedicated home office with its own shower room. The kitchen lost its boxed-in walls for an open layout that finally connects to the garden. And upstairs? Five bedrooms, two en-suites, a family bathroom. Every single room untouched.
 
Planning secured. Not a single bedroom sacrificed.
 
A rear extension and internal reconfiguration can add a home office, open up your kitchen and preserve everything you already love about the upstairs layout.
 
Save this one if you've been thinking about your own property. We'd love to help you get started.

Most people think a bigger family home means diggi Most people think a bigger family home means digging into the garden. This Feltham loft conversion says otherwise.

Behind this planning permission is a whole new floor, tucked entirely within the existing roofline, complete with its own bedroom and private ensuite. Downstairs, nothing moves. Same footprint, same garden, one extra floor to actually live in.

Planning secured, and the build is already taking shape.

Save this one if your roof space is doing nothing but collecting boxes.
