Conservatories

Replacing a wood framed conservatory.

Hi we are moving into a house that has a wooden framed conservatory some of the wood is rotting. It was built in 2004 and the current owners did get planning permission for it. I have been reading that planning permission is no longer required for a conservatory. Can a old wooden framed conservatory be simply replaced with a upvc conservatory if the size stays the same? Also we would like to add a radiator into the conservatory and connect it to the gas central heating (when we get it installed, as there currently is no gas central heating in the house) . Do we need permission to do this, or what sort of criteria does the conservatory have to meet in order to have a radiator that connect to the rest of the house? We are unsure whether to add a radiator to the current conservatory or wait until we replace the conservatory and then add one. We don't want to add one and then later down the line get it trouble for not meet regulations.
