Landlords in Stratford-upon-Avon deal with Stratford-on-Avon District Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.
We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.

Our HMO loft conversion service in Stratford-upon-Avon
Plenty of houses have roof space that could hold extra bedrooms, but in Stratford-upon-Avon we always measure the headroom first, because floor under a 1.5 m ceiling does not count towards room size. That tells you how many rooms the loft can really add.
A loft room usually creates a third storey, so we plan the protected escape route and alarm upgrades for the whole Stratford-upon-Avon house, not just the new floor. We also check the occupant count, because seven or more residents needs planning permission anywhere in Warwickshire.
- Headroom survey and countable floor area calculation
- Updated floor plans for the licence file
