Porch size - external measurements, but is this roof size?

[BobTheBear]

Hi All,

Want to put a small porch on my house and have checked the sizes required without needing planning permission
- 3 square metre size, measured externally
- 3 metres high max

As I want to put on a pitched tiled roof and in doing so have a soffit overhang of 100mm or so, is this included in the sizing or can this count as extra?

Just need to know whether I need to allow for this in the 3 square metre sizing of the porch, or whether it is the outside measurments of the actual porch.

Thanks for any advise

What about guttering, is this included in the 3 square metre size?

3m² is the area at ground level measured externally.

In theory, you could cantilever it out to a much bigger size!

As long as the porch overhang doesn't infringe on another property, it's the footprint that is stipulated, the roof and any overhang are for protecting the building structure i.e. the word covering these extraneous elements is curtlige...pinenot

Thats great Guys, thanks

I wanted to get as much as I could and if it had included the roof then the structure would have been smaller

i.e. the word covering these extraneous elements is curtlige...pinenot

The curtilage is the perimeter of all the property and typically defines the land around the property, and nothing to do with roof overhangs or extraneous elements

What is the correct name for it please?
