The Little Horton brief
For a Little Horton roof-space project, check the property’s designations before choosing a dormer or changing the exterior finish. Bradford publishes Article 4 information affecting certain areas and types of work. This is an address-specific check, separate from whether the roof space is physically suitable.
Preparation guidance, not a survey of your property. The location photograph shows the area; it is not evidence of work by ATR.
BD5 / 01
Identify the applicable controls
Bring to the conversationThe address, designation map and a marked-up roof elevation.
Why this matters
Read the council’s Article 4 information and the relevant map before assuming ordinary permitted development rules apply. Record the proposed external changes precisely, including painting or replacement finishes where relevant.
BD5 / 02
Test the stair before adding bedrooms
Bring to the conversationRoof measurements and plans of both the loft and the floor beneath.
Why this matters
Measure the roof space and show where the new stair could fit on the floor below. Ask the designer to assess structure, headroom and escape arrangements as one proposal.
