    Conservatories in Springburn

    Springburn's largely tenement and post-war flatted stock means private gardens are less common than in Glasgow's suburban areas.

    Can a Springburn property have a conservatory?

    Only properties with a private or back-court garden can add a conservatory in Springburn, limiting this mainly to ground-floor flats.

    Where a garden exists, a lean-to or small garden room is the usual specification.

    What consent is needed in Springburn?

    Flats have no permitted development rights in Scotland, so a Springburn conservatory normally needs planning permission regardless of size.

    Shared back-court ownership also means other proprietors' agreement is usually needed.
