Loft Conversion Advice

[Cozzymodo]

Hi All,

I am in the process of quotations for a loft conversion for a 4 bed semi detached house in Hull, East Yorkshire.
As I have solar panels on the south facing (back garden side) of my property I am looking at installing x2 Velux windows in the front of the roof (street facing).
A few of the builders have suggested that this may need planning permission is this correct ?

Also I am removing my chimney stack to be capped just under the new raised floor in the loft - does this need planning permission?

Appreciate any pointers in advance.
The cost of this is already way over budget so would want to avoid additional costs if can help it.

Cheers,

Mike

Well the first obvious question is, is this a listed building?

Thanks I've actually read through that several times and (for the bits that are not in a foreign language to me) other than it stating windows need to follow the angle nor pertrude more than 150mm I cannot see anything above a variation in permission when installing windows on front or the back

Are you in a conservation area? That could have an impact as you may be potentially affecting the appearance of the property and surrounding area.

No it's a council estate to be fair
