Forest Row Porch Extensions (RH18): One great way to improve the appearance of your property in Forest Row without spending a fortune is to build a porch extension. One of the most economical and least disruptive home improvement projects that you can do, building a porch can be very effective. A porch can save you a fair amount of heat loss through your existing front door as well as give a good first impression to visitors by smartening up your main entrance.
Any professional builder in Forest Row, should be capable of helping you with designs and plans for a porch. Although you should also check on the internet, where you will find a wealth of creative and inspirational ideas for porches.

If you decide to proceed with a porch, one of the first details you'll want to consider is what materials you're going to use for the walls, the floor, the door, the ceiling, the roof and the windows.
It would also be a good idea to think about electrical sockets, internal design, furnishings, decoration and storage possibilities at this stage.
Is Planning Permission Needed for a Porch? Generally, planning permission is not necessary for a porch in Forest Row as long as: no component of the porch is within 2m from the boundary of the property or within two metres of any road, the porch construction doesn't exceed a ground area of 3 square metres, your property is a house, not a flat, maisonette or other type of building, no component of the porch construction is over 3 metres above ground level.
Pop down to your local planning office if you are unsure about any of this. Your preferred Forest Row porch builder will likely include this liason with the planning office in his estimate. To be safe rather than sorry, check!

Building regulations approval is invariably needed for certain windows and all electrical installations.
