Orangeries, Conservatories and porches Sheffield
RB Building and Landscaping Sheffield can design and build your conservatory or porch for you. You can choose from full UPVC, Dwarf brick or stone walls with UPVC or you can go for a Timber installation.
Porches and conservatories can be fitted with concrete or wooden flooring. You could add finishing touches such as lighting, plug sockets, underfloor heating or radiators.
Conservatories come in a range of styles such as Edwardian, Gable, Victorian, P shaped, Bespoke or Lean to. If you decided you wanted UPVC you don't have to be stuck with the white colour option anymore times have changed and there are now a wide variety of colours available.
Do I need planning permission for a porch or conservatory?
Conservatories
A conservatory usually requires no planning permission or building regulations if they are:
- Built at ground level
- Are single storey
- Have a floor area of less than 30m2
No Building regulations are needed but
- The glazing must comply with Part N of building regulations (protection against impact) This basically means you may have to use toughened saftey glass at low levels.
- The electrical installations are caried out by a qualified and competent person
- Conservatories must always be seperated from the main house by windows, walls or doors.
Porches
A porch usually requires no planning permission if:
- The height is kept 3 metres or under.
- The ground floor area is 3 square metres or under measured externally.
- The distance from the boundary and highway is 2 metres or more.
Your new conservatory or porch must also comply with health and safety legislation by not causing a danger to anyone. Some things to consider are the flues from gas boilers and other appliance ventilation and also it should not block any existing means of fire escape.
If you live in a conservation area or listed building then planning permission may be required. You can contact your local planning authority for a definitive answer before you start.
