Planning and approvals in Ruislip
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).

Extensions in and around Ruislip
Site visits are available across Ruislip (HA4, HA5, UB10). We also work in nearby South Ruislip (1 mile), Pinner (2 miles), Northolt (3 miles), Uxbridge (3 miles).
In London, space is at a premium and gardens are often short, so side returns, wraparounds and carefully planned rear extensions tend to make the most of every metre.

Your questions about an orangery extension in Ruislip
Will my neighbours in Ruislip 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.
How long does an orangery extension take to build in Ruislip?
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 Ruislip?
Yes. We cover Ruislip and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £3,120 to £5,850 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £58,000 to £73,000 in Ruislip.
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.
