Planning permission and building regulations
Some conservatories may fall within permitted development rules, but the answer depends on the property, previous extensions, dimensions, location and any local restrictions.
What to consider
Use official guidance and ask the installer or a qualified adviser to confirm the position for your property before committing money. Building regulations and planning permission are separate questions.
