01Roofs in Yatton
The houses here, and what their roofs will take.
Yatton mixes older cottages and houses around the church and High Street with larger, later estates spreading out towards the station. The station is a big part of why people stay and extend rather than move: a home office in the loft and a fast train into Bristol is a good combination.
The village sits on low, flat ground at the edge of the North Somerset Levels, which matters more below the ground than above it — foundations and drainage need thinking about early on an extension.
Lofts as home offices
A quiet room at the top of the house with a rooflight and a proper stair is one of the most useful things a commuter household can add.
Older roofs near the centre
The older properties have roofs that were built by hand and altered since. They are worth surveying properly rather than assuming.
Estate houses further out
Later estate roofs are usually trussed, so the conversion includes altering that structure and putting in a new floor to carry the room.
02Planning & approvals
What your project is likely to need.
North Somerset Council is the planning authority, and parts of the older village are covered by a conservation area. Building Regulations approval is needed either way, and we will tell you what else is likely to apply.
Building Regulations approval is needed for every loft conversion and extension. Planning permission is not always — and where a shared wall is involved, the Party Wall Act usually is. We will go through all three with you before anything is priced.
