Do I need Planning Permission


Do I need planning Permission for a Conservatory

This guidance reflects increases to the size limits for single-storey rear extensions which apply between 30 May 2013 and 30 May 2016, and the associated neighbourhood consultation scheme
Adding a conservatory to your house is considered to be permitted development, not needing an application for planning permission, subject to the limits and conditions listed below.

  • No more than half the area of land around the "original house"* would be covered by additions or other buildings.
  • No extension forward of the principal elevation or side elevation fronting a highway.
  • No extension to be higher than the highest part of the roof.
  • Single-storey rear extension must not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house* by more than three metres if an attached house or by four metres if a detached house.

In addition, outside Article 1(5) designated land* and Sites of Special Scientific Interest the limit is increased to 6m if an attached house and 8m if a detached house until 30 May 2016.
These increased limits (between 3m and 6m and between 4m and 8m respectively) are subject to the neighbourhood consultation scheme

  • Maximum height of a single-storey rear extension of four metres.
  •  Extensions of more than one storey must not extend beyond the rear wall of the original house* by more than three metres or be within seven metres of any boundary opposite the rear wall of the house.
  •  Maximum eaves height of an extension within two metres of the boundary of three metres.
  •  Maximum eaves and ridge height of extension no higher than existing house.
  •  Side extensions to be single storey with maximum height of four metres and width no more than half that of the original house.
  •  Roof pitch of extensions higher than one storey to match existing house.
  •  No verandas, balconies or raised platforms.
  •  On designated land* no permitted development for rear extensions of more than one storey; no cladding of the exterior; no side extensions.

Conservatories fall into two broad categories: contemporary and traditional.  Contemporary conservatories  usually have pitched, flat or lean-to style roofs. They’re usually simple square or rectangular structures.  Traditional conservatories take their inspiration from historical structures. There is a general consensus on these styles but always check with the company you choose for your project as often there may be small differences in style and interpretation. An experience company should always be able to help you with this.

So what are the different designs and there notable features…

Conservatory Designs

These are the widely used styles and design features:

 

Victorian Conservatories

Think ornate. These conservatories have faceted fronts, like a bay window. They also have pitched roofs and ornate ridges.

Georgian/Edwardian Conservatories

They may be different eras in history, but in conservatory terms this is a symmetrical structure with a pitched roof. It has a flat front, and more useable floor space than the Victorian because of its square or rectangular shape. Like the Victorian, it may have plenty of ornate detail.

Lean-To Conservatories

Contemporary and unfussy rectangular structures with a single roof pitch. Some companies add decorative detail for a more traditional look. Also called Mediterranean.

Gable Front Conservatories

A vertical front and steeply pitched roof that can look contemporary, or have lots of ornate detail that makes it appear more traditional. Creates a generous ceiling height.

P-Shaped Conservatories

Often a Victorian-style part (although could be another style) teamed with a lean-to section to make the P-shape.

T-Shaped Conservatories

Symmetrical with a larger middle ‘porch’ section and symmetrical ‘wings’, making a T shape.

Lantern Roof Conservatories

A second tier of windows that creates a ‘roof on top of a roof’. Makes for a grander structure.
