When a porch extension makes sense
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- Busy hallways with no storage
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.

Covering Motherwell
Our survey diary covers Motherwell, including ML1, ML4. We also work in nearby Bellshill (2 miles), Hamilton (2 miles), Wishaw (3 miles), Larkhall (4 miles).
Scotland's housing includes sandstone villas, terraces and tenements in the cities and plenty of post-war and modern houses and bungalows elsewhere. A building warrant is needed before work starts.
Do I need planning permission in Motherwell?
In Scotland a small porch can be permitted development (Class 1C) within limits on floor area, height and distance from a road; larger porches need planning permission, and building standards still apply, so we check whether a building warrant is needed.
In a conservation area or national scenic area the householder permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition or direction, any extension needs an application.
In Scotland a building warrant from the council is needed before work starts on almost any extension, and a completion certificate is issued when the work is accepted. Building standards are set in the Scottish technical handbooks.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of Scottish Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council as planning authority.
