The type of planning you NEED is to consult the local authority if you are planning to install two windows where there are none at present. If you are looking to just replace existing windows then use a FENSA registered company to bypass the local authority route. WHAT is all that conservatory...

Hi there. Read your post with interest as it mirrored a retrofit I did a while back where the customer had ordered a door, had it fitted and then realised because of the proximity to the road (front door opened straight onto the footpath) that she felt vulnerable to 'chance' burglars just...
