Conservatory suppliers and erectors usually have the local knowledge needed.
When you get quotes, ask for advice on this and they should also know who to
contact at your local planning dept if you need further confirmation.

Look up the planning web page on your local authority site and there
will typically be a section on conservatories there listing all the
things that need to be done (mainly size limits, location and what is
already there) to avoid the need for bureaucratic involvement.

There is a similar thing for building control with different
parameters, but again one can easily be exempt.

Otherwise look on the site of another authority - there are plenty
with this information.

The only significant exception is if there is a conservation area
issue or a specific restriction to permitted development to the
property. For that, contact your local authority.
