It's a smart way to add extra space to your property because a conservatory - unlike a solid extension or loft conversion - rarely needs planning permission, and is usually cheaper, too.


An attractive, well-designed conservatory is a distinctive feature providing extra space which will enhance the appearance of your home and boost its value.

Whatever your needs - whether it's a breakfast room, or a candlelit dining room, a play room, or a rest room, a swimming pool, a gymnasium or a library, an observatory or a paradise for your plants - we have a wide range of conservatories including Victorian, Edwardian, Lean-To and P-Shaped for you to choose from with colour options of white, mahogany or light oak.

 

Our professional design consultants are on hand to discuss your needs - from a full site survey to your individual design ideas. We are here to help you get the answers to the questions that you may not already have thought of!  At ECWS Builders & Plastics Conservatories we want you to be delighted with your new conservatory.

Porch Planning Permission:-                    


The planning rules for porches are applicable to any external door to the dwelling house.

Adding a porch to any external door of your house is considered to be permitted development, not requiring an application for planning permission, provided:



  • the ground floor area (measured externally) would not exceed three square metres.
  • no part would be more than three metres above ground level (height needs to be measured in the same way as for a house extension).
  • no part of the porch would be within two metres of any boundary of the dwelling house and the highway.
