Default Is it a Greenouse/Glasshouse/Conservatory

The message
from "Rupert" contains these words:

What is its purpose?

AFAIK it will be used as a conservatory (an extra room) but also as a
greenhouse in which he intends to grow and propagate tender plants.
It will not be attached to the house so I suppose you could add the term
"summerhouse" to the other descriptions.


But being in such close proximity, (less than 10m, IIRC) it has to be
below a certain proportion of the floor area of the main building, or it
will require planning permission.


Quite a generous proportion, though I think. Locally I was told,
if I remember correctly, that the conservatory area should not exceed
one third of the original house area and ours was quite close to that.
There are exterior grade patio doors between house and conservatory so
that the ratable value was not affected (even if in practice they are
open 24/7)
