I was told you only need planning permission if you put a radiator in it otherwise it is not considered a living area because you cant use it all year round.
We use a plug in radiator.
I think you need building regs though.
Ring and ask the planning office.

The exact answer is...
For any extension to your house, including a conservatory the following rules apply:
# A detached / semi detached house can add up to 70 cubic metres or 15% of the un-extended house volume up to a maximum of 115 cubic metres
# A terraced property can add up to 50 cubic metres or 10% of the un-extended house volume up to a maximum of 115 cubic metres

it all depends on what extensions etc have already been done and the sizes, they may only need building regs.
