Liverpool Porch Extensions (L1): When you're looking at ways to enhance the look of your house in Liverpool, but don't want to break the bank, a porch extension is an option you might want to consider. Building a porch can have a stunning effect on the look of your home, while being one of the cheapest and least disruptive projects you can carry out. Apart from beautifying the entrance to your property, a porch has the added benefit of preventing some heat loss.
The best person to speak with regarding the planning and design or a porch is an expert builder in Liverpool. You can also get a wealth of information and inspiration for porches online.
If you decide to go ahead with a porch, one of the first details you will want to consider is what materials you are going to be using for the windows, the roof, the walls, the ceiling, the door and the floor.
More elements to think about include: decoration, electrical sockets, furniture, storage options and internal design.
Do I Require Planning Permission for a Porch? When you are building a porch onto the front entrance of your home in Liverpool, you shouldn't need planning permission if: no part of the porch construction is within two metres of any road or 2m from the boundary of the property on which it is being built, no part of the porch construction is over three metres above ground level, your property is a house, and not a flat, maisonette or other form of building, the external ground floor area of the construction isn't over 3 square metres.
It is always a good idea to have a chat with your local planning office before proceeding with your porch. The quotation from your chosen Liverpool porch builder will probably include this liason with the planning office. Always check and double check where planning permission is involved.
Building Regulations Relating to Porches: Planning permission and building regulations are separate entities and one may be needed where the other isn't. You won't need building regulations approval if any disability access is preserved, the existing external door remains in place and the porch is under 30 square metres and at ground level. All electrical installations and certain types of windows in porches will need building regulations approval.
Benefits: The chief benefits of a porch extension are: giving character to a currently plain entrance, providing somewhere to stand damp umbrellas, leave muddy boots and hang coats, offering somewhere to park bicycles, minimizing heat loss through your front door, enhancing the property's appeal to potential buyers if you ever need to put it on the market, boosting the value of your house, additional storage space and more security.
