Conservatory Planning Permission in the UKWritten by Garry John
It is quite unusual in UK for a new conservatory to require planning permission. However, as we shall continually state in this article it is always sensible to check with your local authority. As there is always some element of project that is quite unusual it is prudent to get permission. If in any doubt at all you should contact your local authority for confirmation. This is particularly so in Scotland where rules governing conservatory planning permission differ somewhat from rest of UK. There are a number of things that may cause your conservatory to require planning permission. The size of conservatory relative to property is important and also if property is a terraced, semi-detached or detached house. Also, size of garden or back yard is important, as conservatory must not occupy more than a certain percentage. When you are planning conservatory take into account its position relative to boundaries of property as conservatory must remain within certain parameters. Should conservatory be used as a commercial entity or if it is to be used as a separate dwelling then planning permission will almost certainly be required.
