conservatory

[Gyn_Paul]

Does anyone know if a erecting conservatory (in a non-conservation area) is a PdC matter or simply a DdT?

Also is a veranda (for want of a better word: a run of corrugated fibrocement sheets attached to the house and supported by stone pillars) still a veranda if I enclose it?

a) I suspect that, if it is less than 20M2, then it is a DdT - but ask your Mairie.

b) My dictionary defines verandah as; A porch or balcony, usually roofed and often partly enclosed, extending along the outside of a building. That doesn't really help, does it?!

Thanks for that, I'll get the tape measure out as see.

erm not greatly, no, but thanks anyway. (I tried spelling it with an 'h' but it looked too fhar beck: very "pah's carh is a jaguarh"  but you obviously went to a good skool where they taught proper spelling an' stuff!) .

Definitions can be dangerously maliable things: in our last house we had a conservatory built on a huge decking area which also contained a large pond which ran under part of the decking. The whole thing being called 'the jetty' because Chambers defined a jetty as, "a wooden structure extending over water."

Sounds to me like a spell of drawing followed by a visit to the Marie is in order.
