Working in Lincoln
Our survey diary covers Lincoln, including LN1, LN2, LN5, LN6. We also work in nearby Gainsborough (14 miles), Grantham (22 miles), Scunthorpe (25 miles), Boston (27 miles).
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Do I need planning permission in Lincoln?
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 Lincoln address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.

Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Orangery extension questions answered
How long does an orangery extension take to build in Lincoln?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Lincoln?
Yes. We cover Lincoln and the surrounding parts of Lincolnshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Lincoln 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.
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.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
