Today local authorities do not require planning permission for installing a conservatory or orangery to your home in the UK. There are certain conditions that do apply, however overall conservatories & orangeries do not need planning permission if you plan that your conservatory or orangery does not cover more than fifty percent of the land that the home occupies.

• You do not intend to build the conservatory or orangery on the same side of the house that fronts a highway. This rule applies to conservatories on the front back and side, you cannot build one on a side of the house that is parallel to a road.
• You cannot build any part of the conservatory or orangery higher than the existing highest point on your roof – this regulation regarding the height of the conservatory can only be important on a bungalow.
• If you are building a conservatory or orangery solely on the rear of the house than it can only extend beyond the outer wall by three meters if the house is attached to another. However if you have a detached house then the conservatory can be four meters.
• Side conservatory or orangeries can be built up to four meters high and a width of no more than half the width of the original house width. Unless of course the side fronts a highway and then you cannot build one at all.
• The roof height can only be to the first storey if you have more than one story.
• The conservatory or orangery must be closed in it cannot have any other extraneous extensions such as a conservatory balcony or a conservatory verandah. Simply put your conservatory can only be one structure with no conservatory extensions.
• Finally designated land cannot have a rear conservatory or orangery of more than one storey. Cladding cannot be used and side conservatories are forbidden. Designated land means areas of natural beauty such as the Norfolk broads, conservation areas, national parks and world heritage sites.

What’s more, by updating your tired and rotten windows, you’ll be helping to do your bit for the environment.

Windows and doors might only consist of 20 per cent of the wall area of your home but they can lose huge amounts of heat.

By replacing your old windows with modern double glazing, the typical UK home could save as much as pounds £150 a year.

So what exactly are energy efficient double glazing windows?

One thing, they help to conserve heat within the home but also allow the natural warmth of the sun to travel through the glass. They are less likely to suffer from condensation and can be made from any frame material – from modern pvc to aluminium

The glass used in double glazing windows has been specially treated to help reduce the amount of heat loss that naturally occurs through windows and doors. Treated with invisible coatings and even filled with inert gases, the glass helps to keep the heat in the heart of your home.

Energy efficient window carry the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) label. This means that the glass has an energy efficiency rating. Just like modern household appliances such as fridges, ovens, dishwashers, the most efficient are awarded an ‘A’ grade and the lowest a ‘G’ grade.

In orangeries and conservatories, installing the latest double glazing can make a dramatic difference. In the summer months, it’s easy to enjoy the warmth and sunlight that only a conservatory or orangery can bring, during a cold winter your new room will stay warm and comfortable with Planet Windows & Doors latest energy efficient glazing.

Orangeries in the North West are believed by many to be a new and growing type of construction, a kind of beefed up version of the traditional conservatory. But, orangeries have actually been around for years and were previously used more as an area for growing plants and flowers. Like conservatories in the North West, many people have woken up to the usefulness of the orangery and are increasingly having them installed in their homes as a way of extending the size of their property.

They are also made up of less glass than a conservatory, so if you are worried that it will get too hot in the summer, then think again as the double glazing that is put inside an orangery is energy efficient and will keep it cool when necessary. In the unlikely event that it does get too warm, then you could install some blinds onto the windows which will keep out the glare and heat of the sun. If you fancy keeping your feet warm during the winter, heated flooring can be put down.

If you are currently considering buying Carnforth windows, then you are also urged to look into an orangery as there is no finer way of extending your home.
