Planning for Conservatories in Stafford
One question we’re asked all the time is – do I need planning permission for my conservatory?
The answer is that conservatories are part of the Government’s permitted development rights, as long as you follow these conditions –
- The construction must not be more than 50% of your ‘original’ house – referring to a home that is in its first built status or as it stood on 1st July 1948
- The design doesn’t feature raised platforms, verandas and balconies
- The conservatory isn’t higher than the highest part of your roof, with a height lower than 4 metres
- This single story extension also must not extend more than 3 metres beyond the wall if it’s an attached property and 4 metres if it’s detached
- It doesn’t front or obstruct any public road and doesn’t cover more than half the house is sited on
Conservatories in Stafford with the Right Flooring
Our conservatories in Stafford are used for a wide range of purposes and your choice of flooring is key to getting the best out of your extension.
Here are some of our expert’s suggestions –
Heavy footfall flooring – Choose a type of flooring that is easy to clean and repair. That can withstand severe wear and maintenance.
A room for summer – If you plan to use your conservatory mainly in summer, we’d recommend using cooler materials such as granite or other stonework. This creates a cool environment that isn’t too stuffy.
Cosy flooring for winter – Alternatively if you want somewhere to admire your garden in the winter, your conservatory needs insulated flooring. opt for materials such as wood, laminate or both and match with cosy carpeting which will also help soundproof your conservatory.
