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.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Covering Staveley
Our survey diary covers Staveley, including S43. The same team covers Chesterfield (3 miles), Dronfield (6 miles), Alfreton (12 miles), Ripley (16 miles), all within easy reach.
Dinnington, in South Yorkshire, is roughly 9 miles from Staveley and also on our list. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
