if you have a dwarf wall beneath the conservatory, then you will need planning permission.
you should also check out the party wall act and get written approval from neighbour

better to contact local council and have chat with them

the lean to will have no sides as i would be using next doors and my outside walls it would just be a pvc roof,front door and window, plaster board next doors outside wall,but i dont like to ask for it in writing,the have just given verbal ,could there be comebacks,,,thanks

I would be very wary of a verbal agreement, as the neighbour might not be there for ever. Then you would be left with your structure secured onto someone elses property and on someone elses land.

I would say you need everything signed and sealed to rule out any future problems for both you and your neighbour with house sales

the party wall act - now requires confirmation in writing....... it is something that could trip you up if/when you try to sell the property.
