After what feels like forever our loft conversion is due to start next week. I had the first meeting with the loft company and builder yesteday and we went over the plans. There are lots of questions I'll try and post into one thread soon but just just a quick one for now. We live in a Victorian semi so our permitted development is 50 sm. We're having an L shaped dormer which will give us a large bedroom at the front, small separate bathroom and then a small 2nd room (office, bedroom). I have mentioned to loft co that I'm disappointed 2nd bedroom so small (9.24 X 8.03) as I'd expected it to be bigger and he said that if we sign a disclaimer they can try to go a bit bigger - over the 50sm permitted development. I was a bit shocked tbh and asked if many people do this and he said yes. I don't think he's talking much - he mentioned 50cm but I don't know if he was joking. Has anyone done this and did you get 'found out'. There will be space over the L shaped big of the 1st floor to go out much further. TIA
