What is a Dormer Loft Conversion?

Dormer loft conversions are a popular choice for homeowners looking to add both space and functionality to their homes. A dormer conversion extends vertically from the existing slope of the roof, creating a box-shaped structure with vertical walls and a flat roof. This type of conversion is often added to the rear or side of the property, making it a versatile option that can blend well with many architectural styles.

Unlike other loft conversions, dormers allow for full head height throughout the room, maximising usable space. This practical and cost-effective solution not only adds value but also brings in an abundance of natural light, making it an ideal choice for those in need of an extra bedroom, office, or living area in otherwise compact urban spaces.

Is it Worth Adding a Dormer?

Yes! It’s worth adding a Dormer to your property in every sense. Firstly, adding a dormer to your property adds monetary value. Adding a Dormer conversion to your property can increase its overall value by as much as 20% in some cases.

This, of course, depends on various factors, including the amount of usable space added, as well as your property’s location. Adding a Dormer to a London townhouse, for instance, is going to add significantly more value than it will elsewhere, because of the premium at which space comes in the capital when compared with other regions of the UK.

Do You Need Planning Permissions for a Dormer Loft Conversion (UK)?

Not usually. Typically, Dormer conversions fall within the bracket of permitted developments. That’s to say, alterations that can be made to a property without the need for additional planning permissions. Because Dormer conversions don’t drastically change a property’s structure, they’re seen as acceptable changes.

There are certain instances wherein a Dormer conversion would require additional planning permissions. These include:

If your property sits within a conservation area (this includes National Parks, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Special Areas of Conservation).
The proposed Dormer conversion is out of keeping with the existing property, in terms of the materials used and its style.
The new Dormer loft space doesn’t exceed 40m3 (with terraced properties) or 50m3 (for semi-detached or detached properties).
