Planning rules that apply in Broadstairs
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 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).
Local to Broadstairs
Our survey diary covers Broadstairs, including CT10, CT11. The same team covers Ramsgate (2 miles), Margate (3 miles), Deal (9 miles), Herne Bay (14 miles), all within easy reach.
In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.

Questions people ask about orangery extensions
Do you cover all of Broadstairs?
Yes. We cover Broadstairs and the surrounding parts of Kent. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Broadstairs be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Broadstairs, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Does an orangery need planning permission?
It follows the same size limits as other single-storey extensions. In England many fit within permitted development or prior approval; others need an application.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,690 to £5,040 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £50,000 to £63,000 in Broadstairs.
