• PORCH EXTENSIONS DRAWINGS •
Front Porches are a great way of adding a feature to the front of your property. We will prepare all the relevant drawings required to obtain Planning Permission and Building Regulations approval for your project. Both approval certificates last 3 years, giving you ample time to obtain the recommended minimum of 3 quotes from local builders. They can also build from our drawings. Note that Building Regs may not be required if the existing door to the property is remaining.
WILL I NEED PLANNING PERMISSION?
Not necessarily! Many porches can be added under permitted devlopment as long as:
- The porch floor area is under 3 metres squared
- The roof height is under 3m high
- No part is within 2m of any boundary fronting a highway
- You don't live in a designated area
- Permitted development rights haven't been removed
WHAT WILL IT COST?
For Construction costs this is a difficult question to answer accurately as the price will depend upon many factors, including size, features, quality of finish, and even the builder used. Builders will only be able to give accurate quotes once they have the approved drawings. However, as a rough estimate it is common to assume an average porch will cost in the region of £1250.00 per square metre.
