Are you wanting to add a porch to your home or replace you existing porch? If so, you may be wondering if this is the type of thing that would require planning permissions. In fact, there are many types of home improvement projects that you can have done without planning permissions, but they typically are under certain conditions. Porches are no different, if the porch you are planning are within the below criteria, then you will not have to worry with Planning Permissions, as long as you have Permitted Development (PD) rights.
• The porch cannot be within 2m of any boundary adjacent to a highway
• No part of the porch can be taller than 3m
• The ground area (measured externally) does not exceed 3m squared
If this is the case with the porch that you are planning to have put in or redone, to these specifications, then you will not require planning permissions.
