Wasting my time?

Thoughts on putting a porch here, planning permission excepted (within 2m of highway)



i just want some space to hang coats and keep shoes, plus i think it would add bit more character to the front (obviously it would be in keeping with the style of the house)

any thoughts on design / practicality / worthwhileness, thought i could turn it to face the slab on the left and create some steps in an L shape?

It would actually lose character.

tbh i can see what you mean, it wouldn't really look right would it

Is character that important in a row of terrace houses?
What about functionality?
I'n not a conservationist or environmentalist, sometimes.

again, good point and reflects my original thinking. I was more questioning whether or not i could actually do anything in that space thats worthwhile, as i stated i'd like some space to store outdoorsy stuff, the door goes straight into the lounge you see

Is there a drop on the other side of the railings?

What’s the floor plan inside? Would be a shame to put a porch on

to the left? if so, no.

basically a quadrant. the door in the photo leads directly to a lounge, beyond this is a staircase with a utility room and toilet in the far corner, this completes one half of the building.

The other half has 1 quadrant for dining with a kitchen in the remaining quadrant, with doors leading to the rear garden

if that makes sense

I was wondering if you had the space for innovative storage solutions. I suppose only you would know which is why you were asking about a porch....
