Orangery roof planning permission.

But before you take a step towards extending your property you need to find out whether or not you need planning permission. Orangeries and conservatories are a great way to extend your home as there is usually not a need for any sort of planning permission. The neighbours consultation scheme allows for a conservatory or orangery to extend up to 8m from the furthest point of the rear elevation for a detached house or 6m for a terrace house. Building a conservatory or orangery is a great way to increase your property s size value and appeal.

For planning permission purposes an orangery is considered as a single storey extension and subject to the same guidelines and building regulations as an extension. Once you have the designs of your proposed orangery in hand an architect or yourself will need to package these up for submission. A planning application is required but as long as all the requirements under the scheme are met permission will be granted. Planning permission is not usually required for an orangery and can be considered as permitted development provided.

Applying for planning permission. Are no higher than the highest part of the roof. If your home doesn t qualify for permitted development then you ll need to go through the regular planning permission channels.
