Porch entrances for South Kensington homes
The housing in South Kensington is largely stucco terraces, red-brick mansion blocks and converted period flats. Victorian terraces often have little space between the front door and pavement, so check the porch footprint and distance to the boundary before committing to a design.
Flats and maisonettes do not have permitted development rights, so a new porch will normally need planning permission as well as freeholder consent. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, porches on front elevations are closely controlled, so discuss the design with the council before submitting plans.
Where a building is listed, or the freeholder insists on keeping the original sashes, secondary glazing fitted inside the existing frames is usually the sensible answer, and it also helps with noise from Cromwell Road. We talk to managing agents about access, consent and parking bay suspensions before we fix a fitting date.
A porch adds an enclosed entrance at the front or back of your home, creating a buffer against weather, draughts and noise, plus space for shoes, coats and deliveries. We design and build porches with made-to-measure frames and doors, suiting terraces, semis and detached homes alike.

Questions from South Kensington
Do I need planning permission for porch entrances in South Kensington?
Nearly all of South Kensington is covered by Kensington & Chelsea conservation areas and many buildings are listed, so we confirm with the Royal Borough and the freeholder what is allowed before quoting; secondary glazing is often the route that avoids a planning application. A porch on a house is usually permitted development if its ground floor area is no more than 3 square metres, no part is over 3 metres high and it is at least 2 metres from a boundary with a highway, and ground-level porches under 30 square metres are generally exempt from Building Regulations if the existing front door is kept.
How soon can you fit porch entrances in South Kensington?
Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 9.8 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.
Do I need planning permission for a porch?
Not usually for a house, if the porch has no more than 3 square metres of ground floor area, is under 3 metres high and is at least 2 metres from any boundary with a road or footpath. Flats, listed buildings and some conservation areas in South Kensington have different rules, so check before building.
