Quick answer
Builderr builds conservatories and orangeries across Southwark (SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE22), spanning the Victorian terraces of East Dulwich and Peckham to the Georgian stock of Bermondsey. Lean-to conservatories cost £35,000–£95,000; full orangeries run £60,000–£185,000. Build duration is 8–14 weeks. East Dulwich (SE22) and Dulwich Village conservation areas have Article 4 directions removing Class E PD rights — full planning permission is needed. Peckham and Bermondsey areas in SE15 and SE16 have more flexible PD coverage for rear conservatories. Builderr works across both planning routes.

Planning in Southwark
Local planning rules for conservatories & orangeries in Southwark.
Southwark's conservation areas include Dulwich Village, Dulwich Wood, Peckham Rye, Bermondsey and parts of Herne Hill. Outside these areas, most Southwark Victorian and Edwardian terraces retain full PD rights for rear dormers (up to 50m³) and single-storey rear extensions (up to 6m via the Larger Home Extension prior approval scheme). Conservation area properties require full planning for most visible external alterations including rear additions and roof extensions.
Our planning team handles the full submission for Southwark addresses including drawings, Design and Access Statements where required, and pre-application consultation with the council. We tell you whether your conservatories & orangerie is permitted development, prior approval, or full planning before you sign anything.
