Covering Ellesmere Port
Site visits are available across Ellesmere Port (CH65, CH66). We also work in nearby Chester (6 miles), Runcorn (8 miles), Widnes (9 miles), Warrington (15 miles).
Halewood, in Merseyside, is roughly 6 miles from Ellesmere Port and also on our list. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Planning rules that apply in Ellesmere Port
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.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
