Planning permission for conservatory ?
Comments

The OP originally said it was 9 metres square rather than 9 square metres, so it's not as big as the house as it first sounded!motherofstudents wrote: »9 square metres = 30ft x30ft ?0 -

Sorry, but this is a typical piece of confusion brought about by mixing up Planning and Building Regulations. Those criteria are some of those that would determine whether or not compliance with Building Regulations is required. Please do not muddle up the two different types of control. If you complied with those criteria and the conservatory had not been up for at least 4 years (and in some cases 10 years) then you have to look at the separate and different criteria for determining with it is permitted development under Planning Law, which have nothing to do with whether or not there is a door between the house and conservatory etc.
in my area it states on the local authority planning website that if a door and window have been or are to be completely removed then planning is required, I dont know which one but they deem it to be an extension and not the addition of a conservatory. This happened to someone I know well.
indemnity policy is cheap where there is doubt and gives peace of mind.:cool: Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age.
Sometimes age just shows up all by itself
In the end, it's not the years in your life
that count....it's the life in your years

OP said 9 metres square which implies 9m x 9m which is close to 30ft x 30ft. OP meant 9 square metres.It's someone else's fault.0 -
As Richard Webster has said there is huge confusion between Building Regulations and Planning permission.
You can spend hours looking up whether the conservatory needed these when it was built. More importantly, whatever you find out probably won't make one iota of difference to your buyers' solicitor/mortgage company.
For some strange reason most solicitors (not you Rochard Webster!) and mortgage companies have little idea about Building Regulations and Planning permission and always seem to demand pieces of paper to cover themselves.
I have been there and got the t shirt so my advice is don't waste your time researching or asking the council just go for the indemnity insurance.0
