Is Northport in the Wareham conservation area?

No. The conservation area covers Wareham's historic core within the Saxon walls. Northport is outside this boundary, so standard PD rules apply. You can extend up to 4m (semi-detached) or 8m (detached, with Prior Approval) without planning permission.

Can I add a loft conversion to my Northport semi?

Yes. A rear dormer adding a bedroom and en-suite is the most popular loft conversion type. Most rear dormers fall under PD, provided the total roof volume added stays within 40m² for semi-detached properties.
