couple of points

You said at one point that the 4M out from existing would be cut bak to the
utility room

If this is a lean to . It will be some ugly.
If the front frame heads are not parralell with the rear wall (the existing
building).
When the roof bars are placed in position with each one being shorter than
the last.(due to the diagonal cut back you mentioned)
The lean to pitch will fall in two directions making this the ugliest
conservatory you are ever likely to see.

Building regs as a minimum are rquired on all conservatories as minimum

Are you certain about that?? From reading both the Statutory
Instruments and other information on the ODPM web site, there is an
exemption with respect to Building Regulations for conservatories of
up to 30m^2, although there is a requirement for glazing to comply
with Part N.

There has been consultation etc. on this, but AFAICS nothing enacted
in law at this point.


If you have to settle for something
Make sure that your side of the conservatory is a Cavity Block/Brick Wall.

Make sure it has a footings inspection by Planning.

By Planning? I think that this is the job of Building
Control....... if they were involved in the first place.




Also a good way to hold up proceedings would be to whip a plan in yourself
for something similar.
that should put the cat among the pigeons.


Why?
