Timber framed conservatory

[suzmead]

Hi all
I am seeking some advice on whether I require building regulations approval for my proposed extension. Essentially this is a very small addition approx 7.5 sqm.
It will be timber framed and built on a concrete base. As this is being built in an infill space, 2 of the walls will be solid - one is the side of the house and the other will be inside the boundary wall. The roof will will have a large Velux skylight and the front wall to the garden will be fully glazed. My question is whether this can be classified as a conservatory extension and therefore be exempt from building regulations as the exact definition of what constitutes a conservatory is not clear. Is there a minimum percentage of glazing required? I should add that I have already obtained a certificate of lawfulness for this project. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Are you removing an existing door between the house and the extension?

No we are keeping an existing patio door as separation

The roof alone sounds like it won't be exempt.
