Planning your conservatory in Wythall
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 Bromsgrove District Council. We check the limits against your house at the survey.
- Swapping a polycarbonate roof for a solid tiled one is normally notified to building control.
- The house heating shouldn't simply be extended into an exempt conservatory; it needs its own controls.
- On a semi or terrace, a rear conservatory can usually project 3 m under permitted development, or 4 m on a detached house.

Options to consider in Wythall
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.
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.
