Building a Porch: An Introduction
If you're contemplating adding a new porch to an external entrance of your property, you'll often find that such a project falls under the category of 'permitted development'. Essentially, this status could exempt you from the standard planning permission application, assuming your proposed work strictly complies with certain size restrictions and other stipulated criteria.
Please keep in mind that these particular regulations are exclusively for the construction of a brand-new porch attached directly to an external door of your dwellinghouse.
