Rules & regulations
- Permitted development if under 3m² external footprint, under 3m high, and 2m+ from any boundary with a highway, beyond that, planning permission
- A porch kept separate from the house by the existing front door is exempt from most building regs
Snap tips
- Stay a whisker under 3m² and the paperwork largely disappears
- Match the roof pitch and brick to the house, a porch that fights the facade hurts value
