Porch Building Abingdon

You'll need a competent builder in Abingdon to assist you with the planning and design or your porch. For yet more inspirational and creative ideas you should do a search for porches on the internet.

Porches, of course, come in all styles and shapes, so one of your initial decisions will be what materials to use for the roof, the windows, the ceiling, the floor, the door and the walls.

At this point you might also think about internal design, power sockets, decoration, furniture and storage.

Do Porches Need Planning Permission? As the law stands at the time of writing you shouldn't need to get planning permission to build a porch in Abingdon if your residence is a house, and not a maisonette, flat or other type of building, no section of the porch construction is more than 3 metres above ground level, no part of the porch is within two metres from the boundary of the property on which it is being built or within 2m of any road, the construction doesn't exceed a ground area of 3m2.

Your local planning office is the place to head for if you are at all unsure about the need for planning permission. Your chosen Abingdon porch builder will no doubt help with this process. Always check and double check where planning permission is involved.

Building Regulations: Most people might not appreciate that building regulations approval is very different to planning permission. You should not need building regulations approval if the following is true: the existing external door remains in place, any current disabled access is preserved and the porch is lower than 30 square metres and on ground level. Certain kinds of window and all electrical installations in porches will need building regulations approval.

The Benefits of a Porch: There are certain benefits to be gained by putting in a porch, including: additional storage space, lessening heat loss through your front door, offering somewhere to park a bicycle, providing somewhere to hang coats, stand wet brollys and leave muddy shoes, enhancing the property's appeal to buyers if you ever need to put it on the market, increasing the value of the property, more security and giving extra character to a previously plain doorway.
