We are completing a roof conversion from hip to gable on this house in Wimbledon. The space will eventually be converted to a new bedroom and en suite shower room. We have recently removed the scaffolding and the external conversion is complete which includes the juliet balcony.

Hi firstly many many years ago certain local authorities would require permission for hip to gables and others wouldn't . I personally took it upon myself to make it a level playing field and ideally make it permitted development (pd) . Many letters ( no emails then ) and phone calls later someone saw the light and they made it pd . Unless the hip directly over looks a highway or your in a conservation area ? to answer your main quirery. besides that I can't see why your loft is not possible and very rarely do we have to take a full bedroom to get the stairs up there. I think I'd have to see the right move listing to get a better feel for you description of different levels . Hard to get a feel but this is one of my last hip to gables. I personally would talk to loft convertors before an architect too. Thanks woody Apex lofts Barnsley "The original roof lift loft conversion company"

obo1 we built a garden office! When we had an architect draw plans we discovered we'd need to move the main bathroom wall about 6 inches to get a full sized staircase in, which would've meant completely refitting it. I couldn't face the expense and mess of that on top of the loft conversion. We're still thinking about solar. We have the original roof with no felt, so we're wondering whether to redo the roof with in roof panels. Then the unused tiles could be used to patch the rest

Personally I think you need to check the planners view on making the existing loft bigger with either dormers or changing the hipped roof. If budget is an issue I suspect you won’t find moving the stairs to the loft cost effective. But you can likely make the landing lighter by addition a velux at the very top of the stairs. To gain additional accommodation the loft seems like the most cost effective solution but you could also extend over the sun terrace.

Have any of the other houses on the road, or neighbouring roads, done anything similar? Could the dormers be towards the back so that they “create the space” but the window could be in the end gable wall looking out the back?
