Glass verandas make a wonderful addition to any property. Adding a serious touch of sophistication to a home’s exterior, homeowners can benefit from a sheltered outdoor space which they can use for a variety of purposes. However, you may be wondering if you’ll need glass veranda planning permission to have one installed. So let’s find out, shall we?
Will glass veranda planning permission be required?
The short answer to ‘do you need planning permission for a veranda?’ is yes. This is because glass verandas are not permitted where any part of the glass veranda roof development would project more than 300mm above the surface of the ground it’s situated on. Essentially then, planning permission is always required for a glass veranda. That is unless you plan on having a glass veranda roof which is less than a foot higher than the ground!
Bear in mind that this guidance is applicable to proposed glass verandas in England and Wales. Regulations may differ in other parts of the UK.
Applying for veranda planning permission
In Wales, you can apply for glass veranda planning permission via Planning Applications Wales. The link to their online application portal is available here.
