Many conservatories fall within permitted development rights and do not need planning permission.
However, you need to be sure that your conservatory falls within the rules for permitted development. If it doesn't, planning permission must be applied for.
If you get it wrong, the local authority can force you to demolish your conservatory.
If you are in any doubt as to whether you need to apply for planning permission, consult your local Planning Officer.
