Do I Need Planning Permission for a Rooflight Loft Conversion in the UK?

In most cases, rooflight loft conversions fall under permitted development, meaning no planning permission is required. However, restrictions may apply if your home is in a conservation area or a listed building. It’s always best to check local regulations in Worthing, Ferring, and Brighton, and we’re happy to guide you through the process.

What’s the Difference Between a Rooflight Loft Conversion and a Dormer Conversion?
Both options add valuable space, but they differ in structure:

  • Rooflight Loft Conversion: Adds skylights into the existing roof slope, preserving the original structure. It’s cost-effective and usually doesn’t require planning permission.

  • Dormer Loft Conversion: Extends outward with a box-shaped addition, increasing headroom and floor space but often needing planning approval.

If you’re unsure which suits your home best, we’ll assess your property and recommend the ideal solution.

What Are the Building Regulations for Rooflight Loft Conversions?
Even if planning permission isn’t needed, your conversion must comply with UK building regulations to ensure safety, insulation, and accessibility. Key areas covered include:

  • Structural integrity – Reinforcing the floor to support the new space.

  • Fire safety – Installing escape routes and compliant fire doors.

  • Insulation & energy efficiency – Ensuring proper thermal performance.

  • Stair access – Meeting regulations for safe and accessible entry.

  • We handle all compliance aspects, so you don’t have to worry!

 

How Long Does a Rooflight Loft Conversion Take?


A rooflight loft conversion is one of the quickest and least disruptive types of loft extensions, typically taking between 4 to 6 weeks. Factors affecting the timeline include:

  • The size and complexity of the project.

  • Structural reinforcements needed.

  • Weather conditions and material availability.

  • We always work efficiently while maintaining our commitment to quality.

 

Can I Convert My Loft into a Bedroom with a Rooflight Conversion?

Absolutely! A rooflight loft conversion can create a stunning, light-filled bedroom, home office, or guest room. By adding strategically placed skylights, you’ll flood the space with natural light while maintaining privacy.
