Planning Permission

Many people who are thinking about having an extension built onto their home will often overlook the fact that they need planning permission. In some cases, relatively minor extensions and conservatories will not need planning permission; however it's better to check than simply go ahead with building work as there are many different factors that can affect whether your proposed extension requires permission. Always check with your local planning officer, its not much hassle and its the best way to avoid any nasty surprises.

As far as conservatories are concerned that are various regulations that govern whether or not they'd be granted permission. If you're interested in finding out precisely what you'll need to know to ensure that your proposed conservatory is permissible can easily be found on the internet. A quick search for planning permission should reveal all you need to know. Most of the regulations are in place to limit the size of conservatories; ensuring people aren't able to create especially obtrusive structures that might cause problems for their neighbours. However, although there are limits on how large you can make a conservatory you should find that the maximum permissible size is more than enough.

Other factors that can affect a decision as to whether or not grant you planning permission include your proximity to conservation areas and areas of outstanding natural beauty. If you live in or close to such a region then you'll find there are more restrictions placed on what you can and cannot build.
