Loft Conversions in Tower Hamlets — what to expect

E2 and E3 loft conversions are predominantly rear dormers on the tight Victorian terrace roof plans. Planning permission is often required rather than permitted development due to conservation area coverage. The Bow and Bethnal Green area is active for loft conversion work.
