Generally supportive planning. Brockley and Blackheath conservation areas require higher-spec design and materials.

Typical costs in Lewisham

For a mid-spec 25 m² rear dormer loft conversion, all-in (structural design, building control, party wall, VAT and 12% contingency), expect roughly £105,000 to £160,000. A mansard, a hip-to-gable with high-spec en-suite joinery or a conservation-area application will push above the top of this range; a self-built rooflight conversion comes in well under the bottom.
