Will the council need to approve it?
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 Rushden 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).

Just over the Bedfordshire border, Bedford is about 12 miles away. The East Midlands has plenty of inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses with room to extend, alongside Victorian terraces in the towns.
Is a porch extension right for your house?
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
- Busy hallways with no storage
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
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.
