Planning Permission

If your home is in England or Wales you do not normally need planning permission for a new conservatory.  
The main exceptions to this are where your'e planning a conservatory in a conservation area or as an 
addition to a listed building.  Another case where you might need planning permission is if your property has
already been extended in some way.  Most properties typically have a development limit of 50 - 70 cubic 
meters and if the original property has been added to some of this allowance may have been used up.

Building Regulations

Conservatries being constructed in England and Wales are usually exempt from building regulations.  
However in order to qualify for this excemption your conservatory must meet the following criteria as set 
out by the 1991 Building Regulation

• The extension has a completely transparent or transulcent roof
• The extension walls are substantially glazed ( no more than 25% of the wall such be brickwork )
• The extension has a floor area not exceeding 30m2
• The extension is sited at ground level
