Bridgwater Porch Extensions (TA5): If you don't want to empty your bank account but are still eager to enhance the look of your property in Bridgwater, one superb way is to build a porch extension. Of all the possible home extensions, building a porch is one of the most economical and simplest. They say first impressions are important and a porch will help to give visitors to your house a good first impression.
It would be a good idea to speak with a professional builder in Bridgwater with regards to the design and planning of your proposed porch. You could also get some creative ideas and inspiration for your porch online, where you will find a wealth of information.

One of the first things that you'll need to consider if you decide to bite the bullet and build a porch is what materials you would prefer to use for the ceiling, the floor, the windows, the roof, the door and the walls.
You should also be thinking about internal design, storage options, furnishings, decoration and electric sockets at this stage.
Planning Permission - Is it Needed for Building a Porch? When building a porch in Bridgwater, you should not require planning permission if no portion of the construction is within 2 metres from the property boundary on which it is being built or within 2m of any highway, the porch construction does not exceed a ground area of 3m2, your dwelling is a house, and not a flat, maisonette or other type of building, no part of the porch is over 3 metres above ground level.
If you're uncertain about whether you need planning permission, pop down to your local planning office. See if your preferred Bridgwater porch builder will come along with you. It is always best to check.

Building Regulations: Planning permission and building regulations are separate entities and one could be needed where the other is not. Where porches are involved you WILL need to get building regulations approval unless the porch is under 30m2 and is at ground level, the external door stays in place and any disabled access is retained. You'll need to get building regulations approval for all electrical installations and certain kinds of window in porches.
What are the Benefits? There are a number of benefits that having a porch brings, including: offering a place to park a bicycle, cutting down heat loss through your front door, enhancing the property's appeal to buyers if you need to sell, raising the value of your property, give you a bit more storage space, giving more character to an otherwise plain doorway, an extra deterrent to burglars and providing somewhere to hang coats, leave muddy boots and stand damp brollys.
