    Conservatories in Pollokshields

    Pollokshields splits sharply between grand Victorian villas in the west, with large gardens suited to bigger structures, and a more tenement-dominated east.

    What suits a West Pollokshields villa?

    Orangeries and larger garden rooms suit West Pollokshields' grand Victorian villas well, given the generous garden sizes typical of the area.

    Conservation area status applies to much of West Pollokshields, so check with the council before finalising a design visible from the street.

    What about East Pollokshields?

    East Pollokshields is predominantly tenement flats, so conservatory projects there follow the same ground-floor-garden and consent considerations as elsewhere in Glasgow's tenement stock.

    Flats have no permitted development rights in Scotland, so planning permission is normally required regardless of size.
