Planning rules that apply in Staines-upon-Thames
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.
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).

The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about an orangery extension in Staines-upon-Thames
How long does an orangery extension take to build in Staines-upon-Thames?
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 Staines-upon-Thames?
Yes. We cover Staines-upon-Thames and the surrounding parts of Surrey. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Staines-upon-Thames 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.
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.
