Sheffield City Council

Nether Edge, Broomhill and Natural Slate

Sheffield City Council says there are 38 conservation areas inside the city boundary, with 3 of them under other planning authorities. Nether Edge, Broomhill, Ranmoor, Endcliffe, Hillsborough Park and Totley are among them.

Nether Edge has had an Article 4 Direction since 2005 and Broomhill since 2009, so many alterations to houses there need planning permission. In both, solar panels on a roof slope that faces a highway need permission, and the council lists natural slate roofs among Nether Edge's traditional features.

Flats, shops and offices in any conservation area have no permitted development rights, so all of their changes need permission.

Condensation in the Roof

Finding Why a Loft Is Damp

Condensation has a cause, and we look for it before fitting anything: blocked eaves, too little airflow, or insulation in the wrong place.

Older roofs with black bitumen felt under the tiles don't breathe, and internal lap vents let air move through them. Ventilation work usually takes 1 to 2 working days.
