Chorley Porch Extensions (PR7): If you don't want to invest a fortune but are still eager to improve the appearance of your house in Chorley, one smart way is to put up a porch extension. As home extensions go, building a porch can certainly be one of the most effective, whilst at the same time being among the most cost-effective and least disruptive. A porch will spruce up the main doorway to your home, prevent some heat loss and give a good first impression to guests.
To assist you with the planning and design of your porch, you'll need to speak with an experienced builder in Chorley. You'll also get lots of imaginative and inspirational ideas for porches online.

If you decide to go with building a porch, one of the first details you'll want to consider is what materials you are going to be using for the ceiling, the windows, the door, the roof, the floor and the walls.
You should also be thinking about furnishings, decoration, storage options, electrical sockets and internal design at this point.
Is Planning Permission Required for a Porch? As the law stands at the time of writing you shouldn't need to get planning permission to build a porch in Chorley if your dwelling is a house, and not a flat, maisonette or other type of building, no portion of the porch construction is more than 3m above ground level, no section of the porch is within 2m of any highway or 2 metres from the property boundary on which it is being built, the porch doesn't exceed a ground area of three square metres.
However, you should certainly seek the advice of your local planning office before proceeding. Your chosen Chorley porch builder will likely include this liason with the planning office in his estimate. To be certain, always check!

Building Regulations Relating to Porches: Planning permission and building regulations are separate and one could be needed where the other is not. When the exterior door remains in place, all current disability access is retained and the porch construction is below 30 square metres and at ground level, building regulations approval shouldn't be required. Approval is always needed for electrical installations and certain windows.
