Can I Convert My Conservatory into an Extension

Yes, it is possible to convert a conservatory to an orangery or an extension but it’s not as easy as it sounds. Extensions, and often orangeries, will require Building Regulations and therefore a completely new structure will normally be required in order to satisfy local authority requirements.

Do you need planning permission to convert a conservatory into an extension?

The answer in most cases is no. Normally planning permission isn’t needed to convert your conservatory roof. However, building regulations may be required. A full survey will need to be carried out to ensure your conservatory extension can take the weight of a tiled roof.

Can you build an extension on a conservatory base?

“Yes you can,but you will have to upgrade your foundations if they are not wide enough,or deep enough,you will have to have an insulated cavity wall, i.e 2 skins,regards, Phil Grant.”
