Can I Install A Conservatory On A Sloped Garden?

Considering having a conservatory built in your garden? You will carefully need to weigh the pros and cons of such a project. If you have a sloped garden, you may believe a conservatory installation will be out of the question. However, contrary to popular belief, it could help give your garden a whole new lease of life, and at Ultraframe, we are here to help make that happen.

We offer three distinct styles of conservatories: ‘Performance’, ‘Designer’ and ‘Classic’. The ‘Classic’ style incorporates the latest technologies in roof and glazing designs, whereas the ‘Designer’ style features an insulating perimeter ceiling that improves overall thermal efficiency and can be fitted with speakers or lighting. Finally, our ‘Performance’ range features Ultraframe’s latest super insulated column technology – which achieves thermal efficiency that is five times greater than brick columns.

Installing a Conservatory on a Sloped Garden

A raised base conservatory will effectively add light and space to your property, despite your sloped landscape. A raised base will ensure that your walls can withstand the weight of your conservatory – rendering your ground type unimportant. If your land comprises loose and unstable earth prone to erosion, opting for a raised base conservatory is essential.

While a raised base conservatory is associated with a wide range of benefits, it will be more difficult to install than a standard concrete base conservatory. However, suppose you are certain that a conservatory will improve your property’s interior and exterior. In that case, the installation will be worth the expense and may even add value to your property in the long run. Since a raised base conservatory will be more challenging to install, we advise using a reputable Ultra Installer.

Suppose you plan to install a raised base conservatory. In that case, you will not usually require planning permission unless you intend to exceed the permitted development limit for your property, which currently stands at 70 cubic metres in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. If you own a listed building or live in a conservation area, the permitted development limit is 50 cubic metres. Getting this distinction right will help you make the whole process smoother.

Your need for planning permission will depend on whether or not your property has been extended in the past. If you have used up some or all of your permitted development limit, you may require planning permission for your raised base conservatory. Your local authority should be able to confirm whether or not you require planning permission. However, you may have to pay a small fee to benefit from their consultancy service.
