Hi, I wonder if anyone with knowledge of permitted development could offer some advice? I have recently bought a house and was hoping to build what I thought was a simple conservatory - I thought it would easily fall within PD but now I'm not so sure.
The house is detached and has no current extensions. I assumed that it would be fine because
1. It's less than half the width of the house - but I assumed this would be the whole house (dimension A), not the smaller dimensions B or C.
2. It would be between 4-5 metres deep but this would only make it approx 1m deeper than the 'furthest' back wall of the original house.
Now I'm uncertain as to which side/back elevations the rules refer to.
Just to note, the garden is large enough that the whole property including outbuildings will be much less than 50% of the plot.
Thank you so much in advance to anyone that can clarify these rules for me. I honestly though that since I was doing little more than making the house infilled into a normal rectangle and thus not affect neighbours' light etc, that it would be fine. Note, neighbours both sides are set slightly further back than mine so it would not extend further back than their properties. I don't think this is relevant but I'm just explaining that it wouldn't block their light etc.
Thanks again.

I'm just trying find a way to relatively 'cheaply' create an indoor space where we can capture the sun - the 'L' part of the house is on the south side so the extended rear part of the house effectively blocks much of the sun from the left hand side of the house (with the french doors).
