Is a porch extension right for your house?
- 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.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development within size and boundary limits similar to England's. We check the current Welsh limits for your address.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
