rarcherbythesea Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I have a bungalow with what I am guessing is called a staggered/stepped front elevation (ie the front room sticks out well beyond the front door/porch by maybe 10-15ft). Does anyone know if I am allowed to extend the recessed part of the front to bring it inline with the currently furthest point so its all one flat wall - technically i wont be extending in front of the building line so should be permissable?

DevilDamo Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 The only permitted front extension you can have without Planning is a porch… https://www.planningportal.co.uk/permission/common-projects/porches/planning-permission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandgmitchell Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 That's right, have a look at "Permitted Development Rights for Householders" - Technical Guidance - issued by the goverment. Page 15 illustrates your situation i.e a stepped "principal elevation" (front isn't used). You can't extend beyond the walls forming the principal elevation and that includes the wall forming the set back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
