If you need some help with the planning and design of your proposed porch, a specialist builder in Ely should be able to help. You can also get a wealth of information and innovative ideas for porches on the internet.

If you decide to take the plunge and build a porch, you will first need to consider your preferred materials for the walls, the door, the ceiling, the windows, the floor and the roof.

You should also be thinking about the provision of electricity, decoration, storage options, internal design and furniture at this stage.

Planning Permission - Is it Needed for Building a Porch? You might not need planning permission to build a porch on your home in Ely if the following conditions are adhered to: no section of the construction is within two metres from the boundary of the property or within two metres of any road, the external floor area of the construction is not more than 3 square metres, your dwelling is a house, and not a maisonette, flat or other kind of building, no section of the porch construction is over 3m above ground level.

However, you should certainly check with your local planning office before proceeding. See if your preferred Ely porch builder will come along with you. Always check and double check where planning permission is involved.

Building Regulations: Try to remember that building regulations are different from planning permission. You won't need building regulations approval if the existing external door is not taken out, the porch is less than 30 square metres and at ground level and all disabled access is maintained. You will have to get approval for all electrical installations and certain windows in porches.

Porches - The Benefits: The key benefits of a porch extension are: extra storage space, enhancing the property's appeal to prospective buyers if you ever need to put it on the market, lowering heat loss through your front door, an extra deterrent to burglars, offering somewhere to park a bike, providing somewhere to leave muddy boots, hang coats and stand damp umbrellas, increasing the value of your house and giving character to a previously plain entrance.
