Let me make it a bit clearer. Yes the standards for conservatories is lower
than other extensions. This does not alter the fact that they are, if
attached to the main house, subject to building regulations approval.

That isn't what the Statutory Instrument says.....

In the Approved Document to Section L1, paragraphs 1.58 to 1.62 apply
and there is a difference when the conservatory is attached to a new
building vs. an existing one. With a new building, there would be
Building Control involvement anyway.

The situation here is of a conservatory associated with an existing
house. In any event, the conservatory will be *physically* attached,
but that isn't the issue if you read the document. The discussion
there is about *thermal* separation, which is not the same thing.
