Looe

Looe is a little coastal town, angling port and civil parish in south-east Cornwall, England, with a population of 5,280 at the 2011 census. Looe is 20 miles (32 km) west of Plymouth and also seven miles (11 km) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe and West Looe being attached by a bridge. Looe created as two separate communities each with MPs as well as its very own mayor. The town centres around a small harbour and also along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which streams between East as well as West Looe to the sea beside a sandy coastline. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, lies Looe Island. Looe remains a fishing community, and preserved several fish dealers running from the East Looe quayside up until the introduction of EU guidelines. With its fleet of tiny fishing watercrafts returning their catches to port daily, Looe has a reputation for acquiring outstanding fresh fish. The town is additionally a centre for shark fishing, as well as is residence to the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. However, Looe's major company today is tourism, with much of the town given over to resorts, guest houses and also vacation homes, along with a multitude of pubs, restaurants as well as beach tools, gelato and Cornish pasty suppliers. Inland from Looe exist numerous camping and also campers sites, in addition to the famous Woolly Monkey Sanctuary. Other local attractions include the beaches, sailing, fishing and also diving, as well as stunning seaside strolls (especially using Talland to Polperro).

FAQs

Will the company deal with the building control application?

Most companies will make the building control application on your behalf and ensure that all the work is completed to the right standards. When a building inspector has inspected it, you’ll get a certificate. It usually takes around 6-8 weeks after completion to come.

do i need planning permission for a garage conversion?

Are you thinking about converting your garage into a new space? Be it a new bedroom, gym, library or playroom, one thing you’ll have to consider before getting started is whether or not you’re going to require a planning permission. Unlike extensions that needs additional space, garage conversion is all about changing the existing structure of a space that’s already available to you - your garage. As a result, these projects are mostly covered by a planning policy that’s a bit different.

For a garage conversion, it’s very unlikely that you’ll need a planning permission. As a matter of fact, only 10 percent of garage conversions has been estimated to need a full planning permission, with the others coming under the permitted development rights. The permitted development rights, however, only provides coverage for home improvements that’s internal which implies that so far you’re not trying to enlarge your garage, you’ll not require a planning permission. But if otherwise, you’ll have to submit an application before commencing your project.

If you’re looking to comply with the permitted development rights, then your project must comply with some specific guidelines. These rules include the following:

• The work should be internal. No plans to enlarge or extend the existing garage.

• You should make sure that the materials used in carrying out the garage conversion is the same with the materials used in building the existing house.

• The building should not be extended.

You may, however, require a planning permission if you’re going to change a detached garage into a living space which could be a bedroom, small annexe or a living room.

Some houses excluded from the permitted development rights include flats, listed buildings, some new developments and most homes in a conservation area.

Will my garage conversion cause disruption to the rest of the house?

It shouldn’t do. Most companies will do all the interior work first, and the last job to do will be creating the opening from the house to the conversion. A reputable company will make sure they cause as little disruption as possible during this time.

How long will my garage conversion take?

It’s often said that a garage conversion can take anywhere between 1 week to 1 month, depending on the size and scope. But many standard conversions without any plumbing can take as little as 5 days. Your contractor will be able to tell you exactly how long your garage conversion will take.
