    It's now well in the new year and also the residential development scene has got off to an excellent start again. All this discuss 'slow down' certainly hasn't affected peoples preference to improve rather as compared to move. Constructing Design Agents are often the first barometer inside building trade of any ups or downs in developments and I surely haven't noticed almost any lessening of succeed.

    Conservatories - lets obtain it straight once & for many - If you happen to were to ask 10 people about the Planning requirements to get a conservatory I guarantee 8 out of your 10 would claim 'Conservatories don't need formal Planning consent'. When you keep these things justify that statement all weird & amazing terms are stated including 'its light weight' 'its not made of brick' 'you can see through it' 'its not really a solid structure' etc.

    For any record - MOST CONSERVATORY EXTENSIONS COMPLETE REQUIRE FORMAL CONSIDERING CONSENT in exactly the same criteria as if the extension was some sort of kitchen or dining room extension for example. This urban fabrication that conservatories are exempt from Planning arose in the original Permitted improvement rights that were/are that come with some dwellings. Given the comparatively modest size of all conservatories it was easy for them to fall under this strict dimensional & volume constraints used on the 70 and 50 cubic meter Authorized Development rule.

    Nevertheless, what folks forget is the truth that most new properties experienced their Permitted Improvement rights removed by way of the Planners when this estate or dwelling was originally approved which has been the condition now for at the least 20 years & more and more properties have recently been extended in earlier times ensuring that any permitted Development rights that they may have enjoyed has been used in place. There's also a whole raft of some other 'catch 22' requirements that can prevent a conservatory increasingly being built under Permitted Development i will not go into here but suffice to speak about play safe & always assume that your conservatory will demand formal Planning and it is just a bonus if this doesn't require it.

    Regretfully this myth that conservatories are exempt from Planning is usually perpetuated by some unscrupulous conservatory suppliers/manufacturers which simply side step the case or place your onus back onto the client. Any sort of reputable conservatory supplier will assess your particular site circumstances and get the situation resolved at the Council first. Prior to accepting any quote you should first see a sight in the Councils 'informal pre-application enquiry letter' from your Case Planning Policeman that confirms that Conservatory suppliers opinion. WARNING - If it transpires after the conservatory was produced & paid for that will formal Planning Permission was required then it is the HOME OWNER THAT Is in charge of rectifying the infringement of Planning Regulate - not your builder. If Planning Permission is denied and again at appeal then you must remove it for your own cost.

    Much more house sales collapse as a result of illegally built conservatories than you would ever imagine - your home purchaser simply pulls out of the deal running shy about this problem or not wanting to wait the 2-3 months it will take to try and rectify the problem which includes a retrospective application. The only slight chink of of hope in all of the this if you do have an illegally built conservatory is the 4 year rule - when you can get away with it for 4 year or more & can prove its age then normally the Planners aren't able to insist on it's removal or for you to apply for retrospective Considering approval.

    Conservatories are usually fully exempt from the Building Regulations available the glass is to a certain form and standard, it does not exceed 30 square metres & you have dividing doors relating to the main house & your conservatory. conservatories , steel base conservatory, steel base conservatory
