Conservatories in Allesley

Planning your conservatory in Allesley

Most conservatories and small porches can be built without planning permission or Building Regulations approval if they meet the size and separation rules, which we check before quoting. Where permission is needed in Allesley, Coventry City Council handles it.

A conservatory under 30 m², at ground level and separated from the house by external doors is normally exempt from building regulations.
On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.
Homes in Allesley within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.

Options to consider in Allesley

Hybrid roof with glazed panels

A solid insulated roof with built-in glazed panels or roof lights gives better insulation than glass while still letting daylight in from above. It's a sensible middle ground where a fully solid roof would make the room or the house behind it too dark. Building control requirements are the same as for a fully solid roof.

Lean-to conservatory

A simple rectangle with a single sloping roof running down from the house wall. Lean-tos are the most affordable style, work under low eaves and on bungalows, and make good use of a narrow garden. The plain shape is also the easiest to furnish, and it's often the right choice for a dining or sitting space.

Conservatories in Allesley: common questions

Will I still be able to use the house while the work is done?

Yes. Work is confined to the conservatory and the garden side of the house. The doors between the house and the conservatory stay shut while the roof is off, so the rest of your home stays secure and weathertight. You'll need to clear the conservatory of furniture before we start.

Which postcodes in Allesley do you work in?

We cover CV5 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Allesley, neighbouring Earlsdon and Tile Hill are covered too.

What guarantee do I get on a new roof or conservatory?

The roof system, glazing and frames are covered by the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms for your products are set out in your quote. Building control issues a completion certificate for notified work, which you should keep with your house documents. Ask us about anything you'd like clarified before you sign.

Will I need permission from the council in Allesley?

Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Allesley is Coventry City Council.
