If the previous owner has removed the original outer door
and/or wall so that theconservatory is part of the house
then this would not be allowed under existing Part L(2006).

If it was done after October 2006 then in theory you could
get the remedial work done and then go back and sue the
people who owned the building at that time.

There is a limited liability time on building regs violations. So the
LABC can't chase historic cases, unless they represent an immediate
danger. I don't much fancy your chances recouping the cost of historic
substandard work years after the fact.

Attempting to heat a conservatory is futile. You could
spend more money heating that one room than the rest
of the house.

Not necessarily. You may only need it heated for short periods of time.
Things like IR radiant heating (i.e. heat the people, not the building)
can make such spaces comfortable when required.
