— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most mansard conversions change the roofline and will require planning permission, particularly in conservation areas or on terraces. AWC assess your property at the free survey, advise on local authority precedents in Reading and Caversham and handle the submission to give you the best chance of approval.
