Do I need planning permission in Urmston?
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).

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