Planning and approvals in Great Wyrley
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What is included
- Removal and disposal of the old conservatory
- Insulated walls and roof to current regulations
- Glazing and doors to suit the new room
- Trial holes to check the existing foundations
- Opening widened into the house if wanted
A replacement is a chance to rethink the shape. Many conservatories are oddly proportioned; for a similar cost the new room can often be squarer, wider or better connected to the kitchen.

Questions people ask about conservatory replacements
Do I need building regulations approval in Great Wyrley?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for a conservatory replacement in Great Wyrley?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
How long does a conservatory replacement take to build in Great Wyrley?
On site, typically 8 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Can I keep the existing base?
Sometimes, but conservatory bases are often too shallow for solid walls. Trial holes tell us before we confirm the price.
Does replacing a conservatory need planning permission?
A solid replacement is treated as a new extension, so it must meet the permitted development limits or get planning permission, and it always needs building regulations approval.
