Working in Tiverton
Across EX16, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Exeter (12 miles), Exmouth (20 miles), Newton Abbot (26 miles), Barnstaple (28 miles).
Taunton, in Somerset, is roughly 19 miles from Tiverton and also on our list. South West homes range from terraced streets in the cities to stone cottages and bungalows in the countryside, and conservation areas are common in historic centres.
Do I need planning permission in Tiverton?
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.
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 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).
Who a porch extension suits
- Homes wanting better kerb appeal
- Front doors that open straight into a living room
- Busy hallways with no storage
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.

We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
