Planning Permission - Is it Required for Building a Porch? When building a porch in Folkestone, you should not require planning permission if your property is a house, not a maisonette, flat or other kind of building, the external ground floor area of the porch is not more than 3m2, no component of the porch is within two metres from the boundary of the property or within 2 metres of any highway, no portion of the porch is more than three metres above ground level.

Shoot down to your local planning office if you are unsure about any of this. The quotation from your chosen Folkestone porch builder will most likely include this liason with the planning office. If in doubt, check!

Building Regulations: Building regulations and planning permission are separate and one might be needed where the other isn't. If your project means that all current disabled access is retained, the porch is under 30 square metres and on ground level and the external door is not removed, you should not need building regulations approval. Approval is always needed for certain windows and all electrical installations.

Benefits: There are certain benefits to be gained by putting in a porch, including: providing somewhere to stand wet brollys, hang coats and leave muddy boots, extra storage space, increasing the overall value of your house, decreasing heat loss through your front door, enhancing the property's appeal to potential buyers if you need to sell, giving character to an otherwise plain doorstep, offering a place to leave bicycles and making your front door more secure.
