Conservatory

Do you need planning permission to put up a conservatory?

Depends on the size of it.

Not if it falls within the guidelines of a permitted development

There may be some Building Regulations that apply, listed/linked on the above page too though

Thank you - both of the links are very useful.

In Scotland it depends on the size

From memory up to 12' x 12' needs a building warrant

Over that size, or if it is visible from a bus route it needs planning permission which is different

If it is less than 1.2m (again from memory) from a neighbour's property then, in Scotland, a firewall must be built.

Haha - maybe not, but he has told me he would very much like his own room with a view out to the mountains
