Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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).
What we take care of
- Design of piers, roof perimeter and lantern proportions
- Opening into the main house
- Aluminium or timber lantern and full-height glazing
- Foundations, walls and insulated perimeter roof
- Heating sized for the glass area
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.

Working in Waterlooville
Across PO6, PO7, PO8, PO9, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Havant (3 miles), Portsmouth (6 miles), Fareham (7 miles), Gosport (7 miles).
Emsworth, in West Sussex, is roughly 5 miles from Waterlooville and also on our list. Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.

Orangery extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Waterlooville?
Yes. We cover Waterlooville and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Waterlooville 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.
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Waterlooville?
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 £2,690 to £5,040 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £50,000 to £63,000 in Waterlooville.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
