I want to add a porch to the front of my house. It will be within the
size not to need planning permission. Do they building regs differ than
for an extension etc. If so, how do I know what the regs are ? I mean,
if it required 280mm cavity wall and 1 metre foundations, it would be
absurd. Anyone who's built a porch help me out ?
Cheers,
Simon.


Quote from Building Regs Explanatory Booklet:

"A porch or conservatory built at ground level and under 30m² in floor area
is exempt provided that the glazing and any fixed electrical installation
complies with the applicable requirements of the Building Regulations (i.e.
Part N 'Glazing - safety in relation to impact, opening and cleaning' and
Part P 'Electrical safety')."

Have you finished that extension already?
