Porch Planning Permission In The Midlands
September 30th, 2007Do 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:
-
The ground area of the new Porch does not exceed 3 Square Metre
-
The height does not exceed 3 Metres above ground level
-
No part of a Front Porch is closer than 2 Metres to any highway
-
The building of your new Porch does not encroach on or over your neighbours property.
-
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.
