Conservatory Design on Historic Buildings
A conservatory is considered a new extension and must relate sympathetically to existing architectural features with high-quality design and materials that equal the qualities of the parent building.
A new conservatory is a new extension and the same criteria for a successful listed building consent application pertain as for any other extension. The first consideration is the relationship of the proposed new structure to existing architectural features. The second is the intrinsic quality of the new design and the third is the sympathetic choice of materials and finishes. The design can be thoroughly traditional or thoroughly up to date. Whichever is chosen it must have a quality that will equal the qualities of the parent building.
