Do I Require Planning Permission for a Porch? When you are building a porch onto the front entrance of your property in Hitchin, you should not need planning permission if: no component of the porch construction is within 2 metres from the boundary of the property on which it is being built or within two metres of any highway, your residence is a house, and not a maisonette, flat or other type of building, no element of the porch is more than 3m above ground level, the construction does not exceed a ground area of 3 square metres.
If you're unsure about whether or not you need planning permission, head down to your local planning office. Your chosen Hitchin porch builder will perhaps even do this for you. It is always best to check.
Building Regulations: Most people may not realise that building regulations approval is completely different to planning permission. Building regulations approval shouldn't be needed if the present exterior door is not taken out, any disabled access is maintained and the porch area is under 30 square metres and on ground level. Building regulations approval is always needed for electrical installations and certain windows.
