Derby Porch Extensions (DE1): There are lots of ways to enhance the look of your home in Derby, adding a porch extension is one terrific way to do this without spending a fortune. Among the easiest and most cost-effective of all the home extension projects, building a porch can also be one of the most beneficial. Apart from sprucing up the main doorway to your property, a porch has the added benefit of preventing heat loss.
It would be a sensible idea to speak with a general builder in Derby with regards to the planning and design of your proposed porch. You'll also get plenty of inspirational and innovative ideas for porches online.
The first decision that you will have to make, if you choose to go ahead with your porch is what materials to use for the windows, the door, the walls, the ceiling, the roof and the floor.
More things to think about include: internal design, storage possibilities, electrics, decoration and furniture.
Is Planning Permission Needed for a Porch? When building a porch in Derby, you should not need planning permission if the porch construction does not exceed a ground area of 3 square metres, no portion of the porch construction is over 3m above ground level, your residence is a house, not a maisonette, flat or other form of building, no element of the porch is within 2m from the boundary of the property or within 2 metres of any road.
Before proceeding with your porch construction, it is always better to make an appointment with your local planning office. Your chosen Derby porch builder will no doubt help with this process. Always check and double check where planning permission is involved.
Building Regulations: Building regulations approval is of course a different thing to planning permission.

Electrical installations and certain kinds of window will need approval.
