hi, i'm new to this site and looking for informed opinion.
we're having a front porch built to add interest to the existing flat facade of our ex-local authority property.
we understand that 3 sq meters external area doesnt require planning permission. The idea is to extend the pitched roof of the porch over two windows of the front room supported at the other end with a post, making an over hang.
The question is, is this allowed within the permitted development rights? Again, the enclosed area will be 3sqm.
Also opinion-wise, is it worth getting proper building works done for a front porch or does a upvc suffice, afterall its more about appearances than anything else.
