In England and Wales you will not usually require planning permission for a conservatory, provided you do not exceed the 'permitted development' limit for your property (which is 50-70m cubed, depending on where you live). Notable exceptions to the above are listed buildings and conservation areas.

If your property has been extended in the past then you may have already used up some or all of your 'permitted development' area and may need permission.

It may also be the case that 'permitted development' rights have been withdrawn from your property. This is often the case in new, compact housing developments. You will then need to apply for planning permission for any extension regardless of size.

A call to the planning department of your local council will provide you with the answer to whether you will require planning permission or not. If the answer is yes, then the application can take up to 8 weeks to process.

As part of our service we will handle the application for you ensuring that it is processed as quickly and smoothly as possible. Acting as your agent, we will complete the necessary forms as well as providing detailed plans of the proposed conservatory.
