3 College Close, Heaviley, Stockport, Cheshire, SK2 6TJ

Planning appeal 3292638 at 3 College Close, Heaviley, Stockport, Cheshire, SK2 6TJ (Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council) was allowed on 1 June 2022 by Inspector Senior H, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.

demolition of conservatory and erection of orangery with lantern roof and bi folding doors to the front of the orangery and a Upvc double glazed window to the side elevation. The orangey is to the same footprint as the original conservatory which had been there approx. 15 years. The reason for taking down the existing conservatory and having the orangery is to make the property better insulated and more eco friendly due to not needing the heating on as much as the orangery is insulated
