Glass verandas in Market Harborough: what is involved
A veranda is an aluminium-framed roof fixed to the back wall of the house, with clear glass or polycarbonate panels and a built-in gutter, so you can sit out in the rain and the kitchen still gets its light.
Market Harborough has a historic core around the Square and the Old Grammar School, Victorian and Edwardian streets out to Little Bowden and Great Bowden, later estates around the edge, and the large Airfield Farm development near Lubenham.
We cover Market Harborough (LE16) and the villages around it, including Great Bowden, Little Bowden, Lubenham, Foxton, East Farndon, Kibworth, Husbands Bosworth and Medbourne.
Ground and conservation in Market Harborough
Market Harborough is on Jurassic mudstones and clays, which drain slowly, and the town sits where the River Welland meets the River Jordan. Water management decides most designs here, so we test the ground before choosing a soakaway or a permeable build-up. On the clay around Market Harborough, which shrinks in dry summers and swells in wet winters, posts and pads go deeper and sit in concrete below the movement, so they stay plumb.
The Market Harborough conservation area covers the historic town core and was designated in 1969, with separate conservation areas at Great Bowden and Lubenham. An Article 4 direction served in 2020 on land at Queen's Street, Little Bowden, covers gates, fences and walls.

- PlanningA veranda fixed to the house is treated like a single storey rear extension: usually permitted development if it stays within the extension depth and height limits, does not face a road and is not on a listed house. Open-sided verandas under 30m² are usually exempt from building regulations.

- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. Harborough: tree work
- Building regulationsAn open-sided veranda under 30m² is usually exempt. Closing it in with glass walls can change that, so we check with Leicestershire Building Control Partnership (LBCP) first.
