Planning and approvals in Nottinghamshire
In England a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the same size limits as any single-storey rear extension: 3 m or 4 m without an application, or up to 6 m and 8 m through prior approval. Building regulations limit glazing to about a quarter of the new floor area plus the openings it replaces, unless whole-house calculations show the design still performs.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
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).

Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about a glass extension in Nottinghamshire
Do you cover all of Nottinghamshire?
Yes, across the whole of Nottinghamshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a glass extension in Nottinghamshire?
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 I need building regulations approval in Nottinghamshire?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a glass extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,850 to £5,510 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £39,500 to £50,500 in Nottinghamshire.
Are glass extensions cold in winter?
Modern double or triple glazing with warm-edge spacers and underfloor heating keeps them comfortable. They are not as warm as a solid room, and we explain the trade-off honestly.
