Mini Guide

Adding a conservatory to a house is considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission, provided certain limits and conditions are met.

View our animated Mini Guide for a visual walk-through of those limits and conditions.

Conservatories fall under the same planning regulations as any extension or addition to a house. This guide is for typical, single-storey conservatories.
