Flat Conversion Questions
Yes, converting a house into multiple flats is a "change of use" and requires planning permission. We handle the full application process, including drawings, design statements, and liaison with the planning authority.
Fire safety is critical. Requirements include: fire doors (FD30S minimum), protected escape routes, fire and smoke alarms (often interlinked), emergency lighting, and fire-resistant construction between units. We ensure full compliance.
The scope depends on the number of flats, the existing layout, fire strategy requirements, service separation, and the structural work involved. We review those details first and then prepare a tailored proposal.
