Conservatories continue to be a popular way to add space to a house, providing a bright, airy new room that feels wholly connected to the garden, but without the need for a lengthy planning process or too much in the way of disruptive building work.
Interestingly, building regulations approval is not usually needed for conservatories either making the construction process even simpler. That said, if you are planning a conservatory and want to ensure it is exempt, there are certain criteria you need to be aware of, otherwise you could end up breaching the rules and, in some cases, actually devaluing your home.
