General Development Order?

What is a General Development Order please? As part of the conveyancing for selling our house we are having to fill in a questionnaire about the conservatory. One of the questions asks if "the property is excluded from the General Development Order". If we cannot answer yes to this, then apparently the conservatory would have been subject to building regulations when the previous owners built it.

Does it not say General permitted development order? Permitted development means that planning permission is not needed. However, this is separate from building regulations, which might have been needed for a conservatory, depending on the size and a few other factors.0

I just noticed General Development Order is what the General Permitted Development Order was called until 1988, so that might explain the different wording.
This tell you more about conservatories and permitted development and building regulations: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/conservatories/0 -
It just asks "Is the property excluded from the General Development Order", the answer to which needs to be Yes. The form looks like it's been copied from something pretty ancient, possibly type-written, so you could well be right.Favours are returned ... Trust is earned

The Town and Country Planning (General Development Procedure) Order 1995 sets out what development is and is not permitted without further planning permission - it is basically a blanket planning permission granted in advance.
Permitted development rights are normally not excluded unless you're in an area of special control such as a conservation area, or one with restrictions on certain uses such as for homes in multiple occupancy (HMOs).0
