Hello, I live in a house which is 4 years old. I have a small conservatory outside the the back door. The back door is wooden and has a small upvc window beside it. There is a steel lintel above both. Is there any reason why I can't remove the door frame and widow to create open access into the conservatory?

In principal no but if you do that it will become an extension and not a conservatory and depending on it's floor area may well require retrospective planning permission.

There are also heating, security and other issues to consider.

Thank you for your help and advice Rosebery
