Hi, I am considering replacing the polycarbonate roof on my Victorian uPVC conservatory with an Orangery roof with glass lantern. The builder is saying it’s exempt from building regs, but I can’t find anything concrete to confirm this. Tried to contact my local Croydon council but they are not taking calls at moment. Emailed them a few times but still no response. Can anyone shed any light please? Thanks

Building Control for conservatory roof replacement?
- Thread starter duzzar
- Start date
The building is currently an exempt building, after carrying out any alterations the conservatory must still satisfy the following:
"The extension of a building by the addition at ground level of a conservatory, where the floor area of that extension does not exceed 30m2, provided that in the case of a conservatory or porch which is wholly or partly glazed".
There is no definition of a conservatory in the B regs. LABC guidance states that the roof should be at least 75% glazed, most LA's follow this guidance, but you should still confirm this with your LA.
