Orangery extensions for homes in Stroud
Stroud homeowners can use us for the whole orangery extension project: survey, design, planning or permitted development checks, building regulations and the build itself.
- Guide price in StroudFrom £30,500 inc VAT
- PlanningSame limits as single-storey rear; glazing checked for building regs
- Build time10–16 weeks on site
- Postcode districtsGL5, GL6
What we take care of
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Thermal calculations where glazing is generous
- Heating sized for the glass area
- Opening into the main house
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
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.
Planning rules that apply in Stroud
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).
