Extensions in and around Ossett
We cover Ossett and the postcode districts WF5, WF12. Nearby, we also take on projects in Dewsbury (2 miles), Batley (3 miles), Wakefield (3 miles), Morley (4 miles).
Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.
Who a conservatory replacement suits
- Conservatories that are too hot or too cold
- Older uPVC conservatories near the end of their life
- Homes where the conservatory sits unused
Planning and approvals in Ossett
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).

Your questions about a conservatory replacement in Ossett
Who do I contract with for a conservatory replacement in Ossett?
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.
Do you cover all of Ossett?
Yes. We cover Ossett and the surrounding parts of West Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Ossett?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
Is it worth replacing a conservatory with an extension?
If the conservatory is unusable for much of the year, usually yes. A solid extension gives a heated room that counts as proper living space. Our guide range is about £1,740 to £3,290 per m² including VAT, including removal.
