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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What we take care of
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Opening into the main house
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous

Do I need building regulations approval in Kirkby-in-Ashfield?

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.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,280 to £4,280 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £42,500 to £53,500 in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
