I need an architect in the Bristol area to draw up some plans for a loft conversion, and preferably someone who has experience of the local planning officers – I'm sure someone on here will fit that description, or know someone that does 😉

Ta in advance

Shameless bump for the sunny-Friday-afternoon-slacker-crowd…… 😉

I believe mtt is now in Bristol. I do know some I'll see if I can rouse them.

aP – ta.

Geoff Haslam is a good architect.

Moses – looking at the website, I suspect a small job like our loft might be a bit 'small beer' – I could be wrong of course, in which case feel free to correct me 😉

This is very much the problem we're facing – I have the builder lined up (friend of a friend), so just need the plans drawn up, some input on design and help with the local planners (going to attempt to be a bit cheeky) – so ideally looking for a local one-man-band to keep the overall cost of this part of the job low. Perhaps I should have put all that in the original post….

If you're still interested I can put you in contact with brizzle architects – let me know.

I'd tackle it remotely from midlands if you can take some measurements and pics. Planning legislation is same countrywide. It's permitted development anyway since October 2008 providing it's under a certain volume

if it's to sit within permitted development Your velux Roof window has to sit under the roof plane, so no dormers allowed. Check out the planning portal online. If you need dormer windows planners tend to insist they go on the back elevation and this would mean it needed planning.
