PLANNING PERMISSION FOR CONSERVATORIES

Planning Permission and Building Regulations are two different issues and often mixed up by people unfamiliar with the two processes. In both instances your Local Authority has responsibility which in a nutshell are:

Planning Permission is the permission to erect or extend a conservatory
Building Regulations define how the new conservatory must be built

There’s a link on this site to Building Regulations here.

We recommend that you take time to read this 38-page booklet produced by the Department for Communities and Local Government: Planning: A Guide for Householders.

You will find that we cover many of the issues related to Planning Permission for conservatories if you click on the following subjects:
