I've converted the loft into a study room, basically a room that that didn't have much purpose to it and was not used and isn't used regularly. However, I'd like to convert it into a bedroom. I was told at the time by the builder that I wouldn't require building control or planning permission as it's not classed as a habitual room. The loft has walls are boarded, plastered, no insulation, a couple of flat windows (pivot?), electric sockets and light that was done by a certified electrician, pull up stairs and boarded floor but not sure if done properly to pass regualtion. I'm starting to plan around it but, will I get into trouble with the building control for converting the loft already? Can we only refurbish certain aspects of the loft to meet building control standards? Can tradesmen issue building control certificates? Thank you in advance.
