Local to Notting Hill
We cover Notting Hill and the postcode districts W8, W9, W10, W11, W12, W14. Nearby, we also take on projects in Shepherds Bush (1 mile), Willesden (2 miles), Fulham (2 miles), Chelsea (2 miles).
For homes towards Surrey, East Molesey is around 10 miles away. Across London, terraced houses with narrow side returns and tight access are the norm, which shapes everything from party wall notices to how materials reach the back garden.
Who a porch extension suits

Planning and approvals in Notting Hill
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 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).
