Planning your conservatory in Bewdley
Many porches and conservatories don't need planning permission, but size, height and closeness to a road or boundary all matter. If yours does, the application goes to Wyre Forest District Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.
- Homes in Bewdley within a conservation area may need planning permission for a new conservatory.
- Taking out the doors between the house and conservatory removes its building regulations exemption.

Which option fits your home?
Victorian or Edwardian conservatory
A Victorian conservatory has a faceted, rounded end and a steeper ridged roof; an Edwardian one is square or rectangular with a ridged roof. Both give more height and floor space than a lean-to. They suit semis and detached houses, and a dwarf brick wall can be matched to your existing brickwork.
Solid tiled replacement roof
A lightweight insulated roof system with tiles or slate-effect tiles outside and a plastered ceiling inside, often with spotlights. It keeps the room warmer in winter and cooler in summer and cuts rain noise. The existing frames and base must be checked, and the work is notified to building control because the structure changes.

Before you book in Bewdley
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 Bewdley do you work in?
We cover DY12 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Bewdley, neighbouring Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster 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 Bewdley?
Often not. Many porches and conservatories meet the permitted development and Building Regulations exemptions. If yours doesn't, the planning authority for Bewdley is Wyre Forest District Council.
