Is Planning Permission Necessary for a Porch? When you are building a porch onto the front entrance of your house in Penwortham, you should not need planning permission if: no section of the porch construction is more than three metres above ground level, no component of the porch is within two metres from the boundary of the property on which it is being built or within 2 metres of any road, the porch construction doesn't exceed a ground area of 3m2, your property is a house, not a flat, maisonette or other type of building.

Building Regulations: Never forget that building regulations are different from planning permission. You won't need building regulations approval if the exterior door stays in place, any disability access is retained and the porch construction is less than 30m2 and at ground level. All electrical installations and certain types of windows in porches will require building regulations approval.

The Benefits of a Porch: Putting in a porch extension can have several benefits, including: offering a place to leave bicycles, reducing heat loss through your front door, enhancing the property's appeal to buyers when you need to sell, giving more character to a currently plain entrance, making your entrance more secure, providing somewhere to stand wet umbrellas, hang coats and leave muddy shoes, extra storage space and boosting the overall value of the house.
