Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire Building Regulations
If you plan to make the loft space more accessible or more habitable by, for example, installing a stair to it and improving it by boarding it out and lining the walls/rafters, more extensive work is likely to be required and the building regulations are likely to apply. Building regulations are in place to make sure that any work done is structurally sound, that the new room of your loft conversion is fire safe and that sound is reasonably insulated between the loft and the rooms below.
Were you aware that loft conversions are usually covered under what's called permitted development? Keep in mind that any additions or modifications made to your home by previous homeowners will need to conform to your planning permission in order to be approved.
