Would we get planning/building regs for a balcony situated on top of a bay window?

Anonymous user 14/03/2024 - 2.33 PM

Hello Chaps, We live in what was the loft space in a converted block of flats. We'd like to knock out the top double windows and create a balcony situated over the (flat roof) bay windows below. If you take a look at the google map link below hopefully you'll see what I mean. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.832626,-1.595234,3a,75y,46.1h,92.79t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s6rALYCUnxU73635D9LBl2A!2e0 Basically I'm wanting to find out if I would require planning permission/building regs, how easy you think it would be to obtain. Many thanks for taking the time to reply!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, You will most probably need planning permission to do this as well as building regs. Its impossible to say how difficult it may or may not be to get permission . Best thing to do is call your local planning office and ask the question.
