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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).
What should I budget for a porch extension in Billingham?

Local to Billingham
Site visits are available across Billingham (TS18, TS19, TS20, TS22, TS23). Nearby, we also take on projects in Stockton-on-Tees (2 miles), Thornaby-on-Tees (4 miles), Yarm (6 miles), Hartlepool (7 miles).
Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.
Is a porch extension right for your house?
- Busy hallways with no storage
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
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.
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
