Conservatories

Open-plan conservatory possible?

Hi I'm in the process of trying to plan a conservatory to the back of the house to extend out the kitchen. What I'm ideally trying to do is not get planning permission to build an extension but to get a conservatory instead with a solid roof so would look like an extension with bo-folding doors but actually classes as a temporary structure because of the roof (figuring out a loophole if there is one) What I'm confused about is when I look online it says you must have a thermal barrier between the conservatory and the house does this also apply to solid roof conservatorys?? Also I see so many interior design pictures of open-plan kitchens with a modern aluminium lean to conservatory and wondered how they get away with this? And does it effect resale of the property and in what way? ****When I say solid roof I mean a lightweight roofing system not a glass roof that you can put on conservatories/orangery not a real slate roof*** **** I'm also aware of the exemptions to building an extension without planning but with the house being semi-detached if I stay 2m away from a boundary line either side the extension becomes a tiny** Thanks
