Extensions in and around Leyland
Postcode districts we cover around Leyland include PR5, PR25, PR26. The same team covers Chorley (4 miles), Preston (5 miles), Blackburn (9 miles), Darwen (9 miles), all within easy reach.
Horwich, in Greater Manchester, is roughly 9 miles from Leyland 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.
Included in a typical project
- Design to suit the house style
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- Foundations and drainage for rainwater
- 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 Leyland?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
