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

Before proceeding with your porch construction, it is probably best to shoot down to your local planning office. The quote from your preferred Milton Keynes porch builder will probably include this liason with the planning office. To be safe rather than sorry, check!

Building Regulations Relating to Porch Construction: Remember that planning permission is different to building regulations. Where porches are concerned you WILL need to have building regulations approval unless the external door is not taken out, the porch is less than 30m2 and at ground level and all current disabled access is preserved. Building regulations approval is invariably needed for electrical installations and certain windows.

The Benefits of a Porch: There are a surprising number of benefits that having a porch extension brings, including: reducing heat loss through your front door, offering a place to park bicycles, giving more character to an otherwise plain doorstep, more security, enhancing the property's appeal to prospective buyers in the event you need to sell it, raising the value of the property, providing somewhere to hang coats, stand damp umbrellas and leave muddy shoes and extra storage space.
