Does a conservatory count as 'uplift'?
Reason for asking is I'm (probably!) buying a property (Conservation Area) and want to demolish a conservatory (which has consent) and replace it with a garden room/orangery (similar size).
As the property has already been extended, Planners have informally suggested I'd not be able to extend a side extension ( 3m x 2mextra) due to the 50% uplift rule. So if a conservatory is not counted as an extension for 50% purposes, then converion to garden room would fail. But if the conservatory counts towards the property footprint, then demolishing it would mean the garden room would be OK.
Make sense?
