Included in a typical project
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Foundations and drainage for rainwater
- Design to suit the house style
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- 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.
Extensions in and around Newton Aycliffe
Site visits are available across Newton Aycliffe (DL5). The same team covers Bishop Auckland (5 miles), Darlington (7 miles), Stockton-on-Tees (11 miles), Durham (11 miles), all within easy reach.
Middlesbrough, in North Yorkshire, is roughly 14 miles from Newton Aycliffe and also on our list. Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.
Planning rules that apply in Newton Aycliffe
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
