Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Burntwood address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What is included
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Opening into the main house
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
The lantern-to-roof ratio sets the character. A wider solid perimeter gives a calmer, more room-like space and hides downlights and speakers; a bigger lantern feels brighter but needs more care against summer heat.
Local to Burntwood
Our survey diary covers Burntwood, including WS7. Nearby, we also take on projects in Great Wyrley (4 miles), Lichfield (4 miles), Cannock (4 miles), Rugeley (5 miles).
Aldridge, in West Midlands, is roughly 5 miles from Burntwood and also on our list. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.

Common questions in Burntwood
Do you cover all of Burntwood?
Yes. We cover Burntwood and the surrounding parts of Staffordshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Burntwood?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Burntwood, 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.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery has a solid roof perimeter with a central lantern and more solid wall, so it is warmer and more like a room. A conservatory is mostly glass. Building regulations treat a heated orangery joined to the house as an extension.
