Local to Eccles
Our survey diary covers Eccles, including M5, M6, M17, M27, M30, M32. The same team covers Swinton (1 mile), Salford (2 miles), Stretford (2 miles), Urmston (3 miles), all within easy reach.
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.
The planning position for a specific Eccles address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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 Eccles?
For Eccles we adjust our national guide rates by ×0.95, the factor we use for North West England. Figures include VAT; your written quote after the survey replaces them.
