Porch Building Banbury

You will need an experienced builder in Banbury to assist you with the planning and design or your porch. For yet more inspirational and innovative ideas you should do a search for porches online.

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

It would also be a good idea to think about furnishings, internal design, decoration, storage and electrical sockets at this stage.

Do I Require Planning Permission for a Porch? In most cases, planning permission is not necessary for a porch in Banbury as long as: the external floor area isn't more than 3 square metres, no part of the construction is within two metres from the boundary of the property on which it is being built or within two metres of any highway, your dwelling is a house, and not a maisonette, flat or other form of building, no element of the porch is more than 3 metres above ground level.

You can always head down to your your local planning office for a chat if you are unsure whether or not you need planning permission. Your chosen Banbury porch builder will probably include this liason with the planning office in his estimate. It is always best to check.

Building Regulations: Most people may not appreciate that building regulations approval is completely different to planning permission. You won't need building regulations approval if the present external door is not taken out, the porch construction is under 30m2 and on ground level and all current disabled access is retained. Building regulations approval is always needed for electrical installations and certain windows.
