Do I need planning permission in Spalding?
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
Working in Spalding
We cover Spalding and the postcode districts PE11. The same team covers Boston (14 miles), Stamford (17 miles), Grantham (22 miles), Skegness (32 miles), all within easy reach.
Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.

Questions people ask about porch extensions
Will my neighbours in Spalding 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.
How long does a porch extension take to build in Spalding?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
Do I need building regulations approval in Spalding?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
