Do I Need Porch Planning Permission ?

The majority of Porches built in the UK do not require planning permission as they fall into the category of “Permitted Development” – Providing that:

1. The ground area of the new Porch does not exceed 3 Square Metre

2. The height does not exceed 3 Metres above ground level

3. No part of a Front Porch is closer than 2 Metres to any highway

4. The building of your new Porch does not encroach on or over your neighbours property.

5. Your home is not a listed building or within a conservation area

These are the general guidelines although I would recommend that you seek clarification with your local planning department.
