Extensions in and around Alnwick
Across NE66, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Morpeth (17 miles), Ashington (19 miles), Bedlington (21 miles), Blyth (23 miles).
For homes towards Tyne and Wear, Whitley Bay is around 29 miles away. Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.

Planning rules that apply in Alnwick
In England a porch is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 m² measured externally, no part is over 3 m high, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary next to a road.
The planning position for a specific Alnwick address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Who a porch extension suits
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
- Busy hallways with no storage
Proportion matters on a porch more than on any other extension, because it is at the front. We match the roof pitch and brick and keep the front door in proportion with the house windows.

Porch extension questions answered
How long does a porch extension take to build in Alnwick?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Alnwick be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do you cover all of Alnwick?
Yes. We cover Alnwick and the surrounding parts of Northumberland. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
In England a porch is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 m² (measured externally), no part is higher than 3 m, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary next to a highway. Other nations have similar but separate rules.
How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £3,600 to £13,650 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.
