Included in a typical project
- Foundations and drainage for rainwater
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Design to suit the house style
- Tiled, slate or flat roof
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.
Do I need planning permission in Grimsby?
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 Grimsby 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).
Covering Grimsby
Our survey diary covers Grimsby, including DN31, DN32, DN33, DN34, DN35, DN37. We also work in nearby Cleethorpes (2 miles), Scunthorpe (24 miles), Lincoln (30 miles), Gainsborough (31 miles).
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
