Planning Permission & Building Regulations
Do You Need Building Regulations For A Solid Conservatory Roof?
When we’re building or adapting buildings, two points crop up – planning permission and building regulations. If your conservatory already exists, you do not need planning permission because you aren’t building anything. However, you do need to ensure your roof complies with building regulations. So yes, you need to consider building regulations on a conservatory, as well as any other adaptation to your home. This is something we can take care of.
Building Regulations
Building regulations set the standards for health and safety and apply to both new structures and any changes to an existing structure. Building regulations cover design, construction, fuel and power requirements and disabled access.
Planning Permission
Planning permission relates to the development of a building or structure.
So, if you’re planning on building an extension – how will that impact the environment? How will it affect your neighbours? Are there any problems with the land or site that you should consider?
