Is this considered porch? Can I extend?


Recommended Posts

Hi, 

I would like to rebuild and extend existing porch. The idea is to make it usable space for shoes and coats rather than a 'wind catcher'. It already is 3m² but it's within the house wall boundaries so I am unsure if it is considered a porch if it's not outside the house walls. Can I extend it ?

In ‘normal’ Planning terms, I would say that’d be classed as a front/infill extension as you’re increasing the habitable floor space.

 

Under PD, I would therefore say infilling that space would count towards your PD limit. You have already provided a porch over an external door and if it already measures 3sq.m, anything more would require Planning.
