AIUI, most (but not all) conservatories are not subject to building
regulation inspection or notification. However, Part M still applies and you
must use safety glass for all panes that extend below 800mm and in doors and
associated side panels (within 300mm) to 1500mm height.
Quite frankly, you should be using safety glass for all panes, anyway.
There is no requirement to comply with Part L1 (i.e. install double
glazing). However, it is worth doing so regardless, as it reduces
condensation and enables the room to be used for an extended period of the
year. It also makes heating feasible, especially if a double glazed or
triple wall polycarbonate roof is installed.
