Dear all,
I have a flat on the top of a shop. I plan to convert lounge facing the main road into two bedrooms. There is a row of houses on the opposite side of the road. This would require moving the existing window to other position and create another window in the wall so as to allow one window for each bedroom. My question is: does this require planning permission? Thanks

I believe that you dont require planning permission for a new window but there are conditions. Check out the following article for a list of useful things you can do without planning permission:-

Incidently, do you expect a significant uplift in the value of your property after doing this work?

Well, can’t say if it would be significant but it does seem that the value will increase. Moreover, I am expecting increase in rental value by converting it in three bedrooms

Surely an increase in the value would follow an improvement in the rental income?
