Conservatory
Planning

At the Conservatory Outlet we feel it is of great importance to offer sound advice to customers with regards to planning permission for conservatories.

Should your conservatory need planning permission we will happily act as your agents for this and deal with the whole process on your behalf.

Will you need planning permission?

In England and Wales you will not usually require planning permission, provided you do not exceed the "permitted development" limit for your property (which is 50-70 cubic metres, depending on where you live).

Notable exceptions to the above are listed buildings, conservation areas or properties with public access routes in the close vicinity (such as footpaths or bridleways). Adding a conservatory to the front of your property can also have planning implications.

Please note that if your property has been extended in the past - you will have used up some or perhaps all of your "permitted development" area and may need permission. It's also worth noting that occasionally "permitted development" rights may be withdrawn from a property and any extension however small needs planning.

If in doubt we can happily check for you and advise you accordingly.
