Comments (2)There are many things to consider here.

Comments (19)A conservatory must have a lockable door to the rest of the house, otherwise it is not a conservatory, but an extension. Conservatories can often be built without planning permission, within limits, whereas extensions are far more likely to require planning. However, as the structure has presumably been standing for at least four years, and external appearance will not be altered, planning is unlikely to be an issue going forward. If you are likely to be selling the property within the near future, ensure that you and your estate agents always refer to the structure as a conservatory, to avoid attracting unwanted scrutiny. You will always require building regs approval for the removal of a wall, and although this might seem to be a pain, you don't want your house falling into your conservatory when a heavy lorry rumbles by. There is, however, one exception to this. Your kitchen window already has a lintel above, so as long as your proposed opening will not be wider than the window, then no structural work is required.
