You may need planning and/or building regulations...

Planning

Building regulations

The chances are you should not need to submit a planning application and you may have to submit a building regulation application depending on who carries out the work.

Thanks DevilDamo,

I am sure i dont fit in to the planning requirments i have phoned them few times now asking about the conservatory, but i will contact a fensa registered company to arrange the works for this thanks.

There's nothing to stop you fitting it yourself. I've done a few. On one occasion the supplier also supplied a fensa certificate; on the others I had to get BC to inspect the work as part of other works I was doing.

Not sure how this works but I'm also trying to change a widow into French doors and Council state I need planning permission. They said I'd have to submit plans but wont tell me how detailed apart from they have to be to scale. Does anyone know how detailed the drawings have to be ?

Your local council should have info on-line.

Eg

You can also search for other people's applications to give an idea of what is uusual. eg.
