Why are some non-translucent conservatory roofs exempt from building regs?

I received the following email today from Nick Mills, who has raised a valid question about solid roof conservatories he would like some feedback on:

I’m keen to find out yours and your ‘Renegade’ readers views on how building regulations determine whether a conservatory roof is exempt or not.

solid-roof-conservatory

I mostly want to know why the following scenarios don’t require approval, when traditional tiled roofs by virtue of them being solid do.

• A conservatory roof with heatguard poly (still by appearance a solid roof) doesn’t require approval.

• A Vertex tile effect roof (still by appearance a solid roof) doesn’t require approval

Also

Why is the Vertex tile effect roof (from Modplan) exempt when a galvanised steel tile roof of similar appearance such as the Guardian or Sundyal roof isn’t?

Many thanks

    That reply I sent you RCG was from Modplan and it states why they do not require approval also the conservatory above whos’ is it as it’s been designed horribly….

  2. Ian (another one!) says:

    I agree with Andrew, the window openings are asymmetrical for no obvious reason, the door and window transom’s do not appear to line through and the side guttering has an unnecessary(potential leaking) joiner.

    It’s my conservatory…
