Local to Bebington
We cover Bebington and the postcode districts CH41, CH42, CH43, CH62, CH63. Neighbouring towns we cover include Birkenhead (3 miles), Heswall (4 miles), Liverpool (4 miles), Wallasey (5 miles).
Just over the Cheshire border, Ellesmere Port is about 7 miles away. The North West has a high share of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with rear yards and outriggers, plus large areas of inter-war semis in the suburbs.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
