know the distance allowed to the nearest boundary. i am hoping i do not need to pay for planning permission and understand having 'permitted development' would be free. The council told me the maximum size allowed for the conservatory is 70m3. My conservatory will be around 39.6m3 but can be altered if needed. Thank you xx

your local planning office will provide a free leaflet to help.
but generally it's 2 metres from boundary.
You also have to take into account any existing extensions to the property. They count as part of the 70 cubic metres.
good luck

It is a permanent fixture so I think you will need planning permission. I stay in Scotland so perhaps the local authority requirements where you stay may be different. Whatever I would find out from the council what the relevant requirements are before building. If you build without the required planning permission they can make you take it down again plus you could not sell your house without the relevant building acceptance certificate. You would have to demolish it. It is better to be safe than sorry all for the want of a few pounds.

It differs from council to council But you shouldn't need planning permission only possibily building regulations, I didn't need any for my conservatory I don't overlook anybody because one side is a brick wall.

check with your council again ..as i believe the measurements are 1 metre from boundary .. and the size where you do not need planning permission is 30 CUBIC metres ..not square ..a big difference
