Planning and approvals in North Walsham
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 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).
Covering North Walsham
Site visits are available across North Walsham (NR28). Nearby, we also take on projects in Cromer (8 miles), Norwich (14 miles), Great Yarmouth (20 miles), Wymondham (21 miles).
Just over the Suffolk border, Lowestoft is about 28 miles away. The East of England mixes market-town terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates. Clay soils are common in parts of the region, which can affect foundation design.

Who a porch extension suits
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
- 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.
