Barn conversion under class Q

[Annie B]

Hello all.  Has anyone added a glass sunspace ( pergola with glass roof and sides) to a barn conversion under class Q. 

It doesn't have walls or insulation so I'm hoping it can be regarded as an enclosure, not an extension or room.

Am reading up on as much info as I can and it would seem that permitted development would have been removed and restricted if an 'article 4' was placed on the planning approval or title deeds. I have no such recorded restriction. 

I suppose am talking myself into going ahead with it! Just wanted to check if anyone else had successfully done this.

Many thanks

Not sure if this is the latest legislation but pretty sure if connected to the house it would be considered an extension.

 

Part 1 A (Extensions), B & C (Roofs), D (Porches), E (Outbuildings), F (Hard surfaces), G (Chimneys), all require planning permission if your house was converted under class Q. I think a conservatory is considered a Class A extension although they are only mentioned in Condition A3.

 

Part 2 changes you can still do under permitted development unless other restrictions apply.

Part Q aside, for permitted development any extension (other than a conservatory) normally needs to use similar materials to the house.

 

I think it's very likely you would need planning permission.
