Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.

Planning rules that apply in Loughborough
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 Loughborough 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Included in a typical project
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Opening into the main house
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
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.

Common questions in Loughborough
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Loughborough, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Loughborough?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.

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.
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 Loughborough.

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.
