Hi,
I'm wanting to build a 2 x 5 metre small conservatory that covers a manhole/inspection chamber for a shared sewer. The water company has given me written permission to build over the existing manhole and build a new inspection chamber instead, however I'm having problem with local building control.
Building control won't class the build as a conservatory as it has had to go through 'full plans' building application and therefore can't have more than 25% glass. Even though its only a tiny conservatory, building control told me I had to apply to them 'full plans' as I'm building over the shared sewer.
Is there any way I can class this as a conservatory so it can be glass and dwarf walls and not 75% brick? I got planning ages ago as its in a conservation area, but of course I've only got planning for a glass conservatory, not a brick box.
Any help much appreciated
