Two front doors

Question

My house has two separate front doors, several metres apart. Can I add a small separate porch to each of them without planning permission? Or does the exception apply to just one door?

The best option is to contact your local council Building Control office. They are very helpful and will give you the correct answer

You should be able to do that but is always best to speak to Building control at your local council and ask the question as things are changing all the time

Paul · Answer

Yes Mervin yes if you stay within the guidelines of 3m square which is a permitted build

Derek · Answer

In most cases, you can add a small porch to each front door without needing planning permission, as long as each porch meets certain criteria. Typically, each porch should be no more than three square metres in ground area, and the height must not exceed three metres. Additionally, neither porch should be within two metres of any boundary facing a highway. However, it’s always best to check with your local planning authority, as there may be specific regulations depending on your area.

Hi,

To be considered within permitted development rights, the height of a porch must not exceed three meters above ground level. If the highest part of the porch is over three meters in height from ground level, planning permission is required.
