Hi Edward. For a new basement you are most likely to require both planing permission and building control. It may be prudent to look at local planing applications to see if permission has been given to similar projects in your area. Usually if there is a precedence then you should be given permission. The best way forward would be to post the job on rated people and secure a specialist basement conversion company who would be able to deal with planing permission and building regulations on your behalf and also assist with the design. All reputable companies dealing with basement conversions should have on hand all specialists to ensure continuity of the project so would be best to let one company deal with all. I hope that this helps. Best Wishes Peter Barber CSSW.,CRDS London Waterproofing Solutions
