Glass verandas in Langham
Langham sits just north west of Oakham, a large village long known as the home of Ruddles brewery, with ironstone and limestone houses in the centre and later housing around them. Plots are often generous, with room for a full rear garden, which makes a veranda a natural addition: a dry, light space outside the back doors that turns the garden into somewhere to eat and sit for more of the year.
What sets Langham apart from most villages we cover is planning. It has a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, and Rutland's Article 4 directions can cover front walls, gates and fences, parking spaces, porches and roofs. A rear veranda that does not face a road may well sit outside it, but we check the Langham direction against your house before designing, rather than finding out later. The design then follows the answer.
What makes Langham different
Langham is on the edge of the Vale of Catmose clay, where water drains slowly, and Rutland's flood strategy notes that the Langham Brook has a history of exceeding its bank capacity. A veranda roof collects rain over its whole area and delivers it to one downpipe. On clay, a soakaway has to be sized and tested, not guessed, and on plots near the brook it may not be the right answer at all. Post footings may also need to go deeper to reach firm ground.
A typical Langham veranda is a 4m or 6m wide frame across the back of a later house or a stone house in the centre, over a patio leading to a long rear garden. It involves an Article 4 check, footings dug through the clay, a wall plate and flashing, a glass roof and a tested route for the downpipe.

Permissions in Langham
- 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. Langham's Article 4 direction brings some work facing a road, footpath or open space under planning control, so we check it against your address first. Planning Portal: extensions
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. Rutland County Council: tree works
- 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.
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
