Do I need planning permission in Selby?
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 Selby address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
What we take care of
- Tiled, slate or flat roof
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
- Design to suit the house style
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 Selby
Site visits are available across Selby (YO8). The same team covers York (12 miles), Harrogate (24 miles), Ripon (33 miles), Northallerton (42 miles), all within easy reach.
Goole, in East Riding of Yorkshire, is roughly 10 miles from Selby and also on our list. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.
How much does a porch extension cost in Selby?
Labour and material costs vary across the UK, so for Selby we use our Yorkshire and the Humber factor (×0.94). The ranges include VAT and exclude design, structural and council fees.
