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 Horsham 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).
Who a porch extension suits
- Busy hallways with no storage

Working in Horsham
Postcode districts we cover around Horsham include RH12, RH13. We also work in nearby Crawley (7 miles), Haywards Heath (11 miles), Burgess Hill (11 miles), East Grinstead (15 miles).
The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.
