Extensions in and around Colne
Site visits are available across Colne (BB8). The same team covers Nelson (2 miles), Burnley (5 miles), Accrington (11 miles), Rawtenstall (12 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards North Yorkshire, Skipton is around 10 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
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.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Who a porch extension suits
- 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.
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Colne
Will my neighbours in Colne 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.
Who do I contract with for a porch extension in Colne?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
How long does a porch extension take to build in Colne?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £3,800 to £14,250 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.

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.
