I've recently had a conservatory built (yes, I paid someone!....but my excuse is we had a sprog on the way).
Unfortunately we had to go through the whole planning permission thing, but it was granted.
Also, according to the conservatory bloke we did not need building regs approval.
So, I have a few questions:
1. Should I have some kind of documented proof that the planning permission was approved? I did not apply directly myself and have nothing stating that it was approved. Obviously this would worry me when I sell my house.
2. Is it likely that I needed building regs approval? I know this is a bit vague and depends on the specifics of the conservatory. I was told by the conservatory bloke that I didn't need it, but I'm not so sure. Again, a problem when selling the house. I assume building regs approval can be retrospectively given if required, is this true?
3. I believe you need some sort of certificate now to indicate that the windows are of the correct standard. Surprise, surprise, I don't have this either!
Do I need to try and get these things?
Thanks in advance.
