Planning and approvals in Weybridge
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.
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).
What is included
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- Design to suit the house style
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Tiled, slate or flat roof
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.

For homes towards Greater London, Hampton is around 5 miles away. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.

Questions people ask about porch extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Weybridge, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How long does a porch extension take to build in Weybridge?
On site, typically 2 to 4 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 2–8 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Weybridge 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.
