If you are taking care of ensuring you have Orangery Planning Permission yourself, then the Planning Portal website is a good starting point. From here, you can work out, first of all, if you will actually need Planning Permission for your Orangery project, and if so, find information about what you need to do to achieve this.
There are a number of reasons why your orangery might need planning permission. One common reason is if you choose to remove the doors between your home and the orangery or if you go a step further and knock out the wall between your home and the Orangery.
Orangery Planning Permission might also be needed due to other factors, such as the proximity of your Orangery to your neighbour’s house and/or boundary line. Your Building Surveyor will be able to advise on this aspect of Orangery Planning Permission.
Another factor which might result in you needing Orangery Planning Permission is the external finish of your Orangery. Some Planning departments insist on orangery planning permission if the external finish is different to the surrounding properties – for example, if the houses on your estate are red brick and you choose the have the external elements of your Orangery finished in white render. Again, it shouldn’t be an issue to get the planning permission granted, and your Ultra Installer and Building Inspector will be able to advise you more on this.
A good starting point for information about Orangery Planning Permission is always to ring the Planning department at your local council. A Planning or Building Inspector will be able to answer any questions you have, and if you proceed with adding an Orangery to your home and Planning Permission is required, you will be assigned your own Building Inspector who will see your project through from planning to completion. They will be able to advise you at any stage of the orangery planning permission process as well as answer any other questions you may have about the build process and what to expect.
