    Planning will depend on a few things, your permtted development rights, listed building /conservation area etc, viewable from front of building, height etc.

    A conservatory is an exempt building as far as Building Control are concerned and so doesn't require their involvement so long as over 50 % of the EXTERNAL walls are transparent and 75% of the roof, its less than 30m2 and the doors remain between the house and the conservatory at a level at least as good as the rest of the external doors, the heating system hasn't been extended into it.[/quote]

    I can never understand that bit & I have read it before.

    Doesn't ever conservatory need a rad for use apart from the summer ?

    I believe that you can have heating but it needs to have a valve to make it independant from the rest of the radiators (i.e it can be turned off).

    Hope that helps sport-smiley-001.gif
  • the heating system needs to be independant not just independantly controllable.
