Do Porches Need Planning Permission? When you are building a porch onto the front entrance of your home in Sunderland, you shouldn't need planning permission if: no component of the porch is within 2m from the boundary of the property on which it is being built or within 2 metres of any highway, the porch construction doesn't exceed a ground area of 3m2, your residence is a house, and not a maisonette, flat or other type of building, no element of the porch construction is over 3 metres above ground level.
It is always advisable to pop along to your local planning office before pressing ahead with your porch. Your preferred Sunderland porch builder should be willing to liase with the planning office. Always check and double check where planning permission is involved.
Building Regulations: You should keep in mind that planning permission is different to building regulations approval. When any disability access is maintained, the present external door remains in place and the porch is below 30m2 and on ground level, building regulations approval shouldn't be needed. Electrical installations and certain types of window do need approval.
