Hi,
Because the land slopes down from the back of the bungalow, errecting a conservatory in the typical manner would probably not meet planning regs as the ground level to ridge would be over 11ft, plus it would look really odd being so elevated.
The back wall brickwork DPC is about 5ft above ground level, so the obvious thing would be be to fit a 8ft high conservatory just below the back wall window sills which are all on the same level.
However that would mean the four air bricks would also be covered and know it would not be correct to block them off.
We would also like to use the conservatory partly as a greenhouse so again cannot see it would be good for its sometimes moist air going back though the air brick to the suspended timber floor in the house.
Is there a 'proper' way around this airbrick problem eg truncking / ducting of some form ?
