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.
Planning rules that apply in Buckley
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
