We are definately going to have a loft conversion done, just not right now. We are going to do the extension first otherwise we will be spending money or an extra room that we dont really need right now. The extension we plan on doing is a single story side return extension. That will mean the second reception and the kitchen will be all opened up and will become one big open plan kitchen/diner/sitting area. (our bathroom is already upstairs so our kitchen is at the back where the bathroom originally was)

There is a half house up the top of our street that has already had a L shape dormer loft conversion approved under permitted development. There plans show the whole loft used as the bedroom and a full size bathroom built on top of the first floor upstairs bathroom. Id be surprised if you didnt get permission.

Our second bedroom is quite a good size and shape already but I guess it depends on how the wall was put in to make that bedroom.
