Three checks worth making.
For conversions, check structural alterations, fire-safety considerations and any changes of use.
For new houses, establish the site context, access and servicing before committing to a layout.
PUTTING IT INTO PRACTICE
A typical design question.
A loft or garage conversion: identify headroom, structural support, escape and fire safety, insulation and the relevant building warrant requirements.
