Porches

You will need to apply for planning permission if the porch:

• Would have a ground area (measured externally) of more than 3 square metres
• Would be higher than 3 metres above ground level (height needs to be measured in the same way as for a house extension); or
• Would be less than 2 metres away from the boundary of a dwellinghouse with a highway (which includes all public roads, footpaths, bridleways and byways).
