Changing SPACES
What is needed from a home is, for the most part, likely to change over the years spent there as families grow and life circumstances and needs alter. The past year and more, though, has seen requisites change at a vastly accelerated pace. More time has been spent in the home daily, often with more than one generation in residence, and working at home has for many become an everyday arrangement. As a result, making alterations commensurate with these changes has become imperative.
Intelligent architectural interventions can achieve all that is desired, but it is essential that such work abides by current laws. Some extensions may be possible without planning permission under permitted development rights if specific limitations and conditions are met, whilst other projects will require it. Listed buildings, meanwhile, impose additional rules. Good architects will undoubtedly advise on such matters, but information can also be found at planningportal.co.uk
