Working in Shrewsbury
Site visits are available across Shrewsbury (SY1, SY2, SY3). Nearby, we also take on projects in Wellington (10 miles), Telford (13 miles), Oswestry (16 miles), Market Drayton (18 miles).
For homes towards Staffordshire, Stafford is around 27 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Planning and approvals in Shrewsbury
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 Shrewsbury address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Included in a typical project
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- Tiled, slate or flat roof
- Design to suit the house style
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
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.
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
