Hello all,
Maybe you can clarify something for me :o)
About 5 years ago we converted the loft in our terraced 4 bedroom house to make it a five bedroom, (the small box room at the top of the stairs became a 'landing'/computer area and we had two new loft bedrooms created for our elder sons). The loft conversion is a 'dormer' type.
Now - we'd like to expand the downstairs as we literally only have the living room and kitchen down there, (together with a downstairs loo and utility area housing the washing machine/tumble dryer).
Our plan is to make an extension back into the garden and move the kitchen in there.
What is now the kitchen, (12' x 16') would be gutted and made into a 'family' room/dining room - giving us much needed extra space downstairs.
If the budget can stretch, I'd like to also go for a porch at the front - but thats a big 'if'.
Question: A friend says I may have difficulty in getting planning permission for this because I already have a loft conversion and may have used up my 'quota'.
Does this sound right?
Any advice appreciated.
Plod.
