Architectural Design Partnership Testimonials
They are always available to meet their clients to discuss options and proposals for any building works, including building of extensions, conservatories, sun lounges, porches, loft conversions, and much more. Once a project has been agreed ADP will act as the client's agent during all Building Regulation and Planning Decision processes.
Planning Permission
In England and Wales you do not usually require planning permission, provided you do not exceed the permitted development limit for your property, which is 50 -70 cubic metres, depending on where you live. Exceptions to the above include listed buildings and conservation areas. Also, if your property has been extended in the past, you will have used up some or perhaps all of your "permitted development" area and may therefore need permission. Contact ADP in Hull if you need further advice.
Building Regulations
Generally speaking conservatories/sun rooms on residential property are exempted under Building Regulations. Below are some of the Exemption Criteria - under the Building Regulations 1991 (as amended). These criteria must be met for a conservatory extension to be classified as exempt:
-
The extension has a completely transparent or translucent roof.
-
The extension walls are substantially glazed. Must have at least half the area of the walls formed of windows. Must have at least three quarters of the area of the roof formed of glazing, polycarbonate sheets or similar translucent material.
-
The extension has a floor area not exceeding 30m squared.
-
The extension is sited at ground level.
-
The extension is permanently separated from the remainder of the property by means of a door.
-
Any radiator within the conservatory is controllable. (If fixed heating installations are proposed, they should have their own separate temperature and on/off controls).
-
The glazing satisfies the requirements of part N, Schedule 1 (toughened/safety glass).
-
The extension does not contain any drainage facilities. (i.e. sink, WC, or washing
If you are considering any building work, from a conservatory to a new extension for your property, give Architectural Design Partnership a call for advice and help, with no obligation to take it further.
