Planning rules that apply in Bedlington
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.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in Bedlington
Will my neighbours in Bedlington 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.
How long does a porch extension take to build in Bedlington?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bedlington?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
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.
