There is something special about a conservatory - the feeling of the outdoors inside.

Planning your conservatory

 

The first thing to consider is what will the
room be used for?

  • a playroom?
  • dining room?
  • breakfast room?
  • entertaining?
  • relaxing?

    This should help you decide which room your conservatory should lead off from. A general tip is that a conservatory which is attached to a room which is used a lot will be a well used conservatory, and a conservatory leading from a little used room will become a little used conservatory.

Planning permission is not usually required unless you are extending a listed building, are in a conservation area or exceed the permitted development limit for your property, which varies from area to area, but is usually 50-70m². This is the total permitted area so if the property had previously been extended, some of your allowance will have already been used. Contact your local council and obtain more information specific to your own area.

Building regulations only apply if the conservatory exceeds 30m² floor space, has no connecting doors to the property, or is a kitchen/conservatory extension. Again, it is advisable to check details with your council.

One of your first considerations will be the size of the conservatory. Mark out the area with sticks and string. Mark out both the internal and external measurements. You will want to see the effect on the garden from the external measurements, and these are the measurements suppliers will quote you. It will probably be more interesting for you to see the internal measurements. Fill the area with furniture such as sofas and plants to make sure you have as much room as you would like.
