Building Regs advice

Building regulations will generally apply if you want to build an extension to your home. However, conservatories are normally exempt when they meet a number of conditions: They are built at ground level and are less than 30 square metres in floor area At least half of the new wall and three quarters of the roof is either glazed or translucent material The conservatory is separated from the house by external quality door(s). Glazing and any fixed electrical installations comply with the applicable building regulations requirements The radiator you mention would only require building reg if it's an independant source unrelated to the main house. Clearly you would need a structural engineer, drawings, calculations and a submission to building control at a later date if you were to wish to remove the door from the main house and open up the wall further. It will be the main wall to the house and therefore, a supporting wall. You could not make the doorway larger without building regs.

advice on orangery extension

When you're considering any extension it's important to figure out how it's going to connect to your house and how it's going to add to your quality of life. If you want help to make sure your orangery is actually going to do that and not just be a bit of extra space tacked on at the back that doesn't contribute that much to improving your home life you can join my free Get Ready To Redesign 5 Day Challenge. https://www.i-architect.co.uk/readytoredesign.html

Help! Unusual floor plan - kitchen extension advice please

So, has the approach to your property changed at some point? Because I would expect your entrance hall and front door to be at the front and not at the back? Could you turn it around again? If not, maybe move the front door to what is now the kitchen, making the kitchen part entry hall and part utility (dividing wall). Then you could perhaps create one large kitchen/diner/family space from the current utility, office and family room. The current dining room could be an office? Obviously all depending on whether all that would be possible re: load bearing walls and all that.

Just google “planning portal conservatories” and that will find the official info. It depends on if you are detached or not and how big your garden is.
