Porches in Nottinghamshire

Covering Nottinghamshire

Our porches service in Nottinghamshire covers Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop and Newark-on-Trent and more.

Homes in the East Midlands

Across the East Midlands you find everything from city terraces to modern estates and stone villages, so the right extension depends a lot on the street and the materials around it.

What is a porch?

We build porches in matching brick with a tiled or lead roof, a new composite or timber door, and lighting. If you want a wider entrance or a WC, we can design a larger front extension instead and handle the planning.

Do you need permission for a porch in Nottinghamshire?

Projects in England go through two separate checks. Planning (or confirmation that the work is permitted development) comes from the district, borough or unitary council, and building regulations approval comes from the council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Where work touches a shared wall or digs near a neighbour’s foundations, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies.

In England a porch is permitted development if its footprint is no more than 3 m² measured externally, no part is higher than 3 m, and no part is within 2 m of a boundary with a road or footpath.

What should I think about before starting?

Gas meters and drains near the front door may need relocating.
The roof pitch should echo the main roof or bay window.
