Planning and approvals in Gloucestershire
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 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.
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).
Working in Gloucestershire
Towns we cover in Gloucestershire include Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Kingswood, Mangotsfield, Yate, Tewkesbury, Cirencester. In the South West, local stone, render and brick vary from town to town, so matching materials is a big part of designing an extension that looks right.
What happens next
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about a porch extension in Gloucestershire
Who do I contract with for a porch extension in Gloucestershire?
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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Gloucestershire, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Gloucestershire 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.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
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.
How much does a porch cost?
Our guide range is about £4,050 to £15,300 including VAT, depending on size, materials and whether it includes a WC.
