That was the gist of it. In fact the drains were new a few years before,
but already inspected and passed.

I was surprised he wasn't interested in the building over - but he said
that effectively, the conservatory didn't exist with regard to any
jurisdiction he had, so...

ISTR there is a distinction between a conservatory that still has a door
between the main building and it, and one that is permanency "open" to
the main building. i.e. if you make the conservatory part of the thermal
envelope of the building, then building regs would apply.


Yes indeed (I think I mentioned that)
