Working in Hull
Across HU1, HU2, HU3, HU5, HU8, HU9, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Beverley (8 miles), Brough (10 miles), Goole (22 miles), Bridlington (24 miles).
For homes towards Lincolnshire, Grimsby is around 16 miles away. Homes across Yorkshire and the Humber range from back-to-back and through terraces to large suburban semis, and extension options vary with them.
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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).

Porch extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Hull 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.

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.

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.
