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 Reigate
Postcode districts we cover around Reigate include RH2. The same team covers Redhill (2 miles), Horley (5 miles), Banstead (6 miles), Caterham (6 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Greater London border, Coulsdon is about 6 miles away. The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.

Planning rules that apply in Reigate
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.
The planning position for a specific Reigate address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
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).

Questions people ask about porch extensions
Will my neighbours in Reigate be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.

Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do I need building regulations approval in Reigate?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
In England a porch is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 m² (measured externally), no part is higher than 3 m, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary next to a highway. Other nations have similar but separate rules.
