Need to fit a big bathroom in loft, any ideas?
Comments (36)Karen, to be honest with you, you do not really need the council's approval (or Lawful Develpment Certificate). As long as you are absolutely sure that what you are doing is within PD, you can just go ahead. The LDC is for future buyers, and can be gained retrospectively. I didn't wait for it on either of my projects - by the time it came from Lambeth I had basically finished the outside of the loft. It is absolutely critical that if you do this, you make sure your plans are compliant though...with loft conversions that is mainly making sure that you do not exceed the maximum additional volume measurements, and that the dormer is set back 20cm from the edge of the original roof. Do make sure your builder is on top of the necessary building control notifications and inspections though - this takes much more effort, and is nothing to do with planning, and absolutely compulsory. Happy to tell you more about this/answer questions: you have my e-mail address. Everything from the specification of windows,through insulation depth required, to position of plug sockets is controlled and needs to be correct. In my experience, plenty of builders don't know enough about the regs and bodge things. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/120/what_to_do_next/3...See MoreHow to move the bathroom upstairs in our Victorian semi?
Comments (4)Hi, Assuming you can extend the first floor in an efficient way, this could be an option: Can't tell purely from the plan what the implications will be, depends on the type of your current side return etc. Putting the main bathroom in the loft would be a bit much in my opinion.

Comments (6)Minnie101 I can't leave a whole bathroom in the hall unfortunately, there's too much stuff and not enough space, if I could, there wouldn't be a problem. Travertine tiles are about 24 inches long, 12 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. They are solid rock. The whole room is to be tiled. Together they will weigh over a ton. I'm getting on a bit, so it would be very difficult to heave one of them, let alone a bunch at a time, I wish :-). I have a garage, but it's chokka. Everybody only delivers to the front door since Covid. I hate to sound so negative, but this has been on my mind for a long time, and it's really getting me down. Thank you very much for your reply, Love your username btw. Daisy England That's a good idea about Facebook, although It's going to be pretty nigh impossible to have someone available exactly when things are being delivered or am I missing something?

Comments (7)Is it really a 3 bed house, with a bedroom that's been cut in two? Just wondering that if you've actually paid for a 4 bed house and then losing one to make a bathroom might restrict future value of it, however if you don't see yourself moving in long term then I wouldn't worry....See Morepeggysue67
