Submitting Dormer PlansWhat many people don’t realise when they begin the building regulations application is that their drawings must show every floor including the new loft conversion as well as the existing floors. The drawings must also include a location plan which shows the surrounding area; section plans of the new loft conversion and elevation plans complete with structural calculations. The dormer designs will be shown on the all the elevation plans; front, rear, side and party (if applicable) all drawn to a scale of 1:50 or 1:100. The drawings themselves will be accompanied with explanatory notes containing the technical details and structural calculations. It should be realised that it is by no means uncommon for the building control office to ask for revisions or additions to the submitted plans. The building control officers will normally write to you outlining what amendments they require or sometimes they may ask for additional drawings to be sent to them. Once all the drawings have been submitted the BCO will issue either an approved or rejected notice though sometimes they will issue a conditional approval notice if further clarifications or plans are required. If all of the drawings are approved, and this usually takes around five weeks, than work can begin immediately though you do have up to three years to start the building work before the approval period runs out.
