You may find good info on this from the website of your own local authority. I'm in Scotland where we make our own rules up so can't offer anything constructive.

If for any other kind of house outside those areas, the volume of the original house would be increased by more than 15 per cent or 70 cubic metres (whichever is greater).

Most local authorities have a creature called permitted development which means that they can quickly sign off requests that by the letter of the law need a full PA without anybody needed to go through the whole time and cost of the full exercise - They'll look for how it might impinge on your neighbours (i.e. 'right to light' and whether it is visually intrusive (i.e. can the gen public see it)...

at lot of new houses do not have any pd rights and so you will need to check with your local planning office, and any thing more than 30mē will require building regulations, and also building regulations needed if no doors between the conservatory and the existing house.
