Porch entrances for N12 homes
Flats and maisonettes do not have permitted development rights, so a new porch will normally need planning permission as well as freeholder consent.
For landlords, a porch can create a draught lobby protecting the entrance to a shared house, but check fire safety and escape routes before enclosing space. 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.
The High Road carries buses and heavy traffic, and the High Barnet branch of the Northern line runs through. Many houses keep original features such as bays, porches and leaded lights that are worth matching when windows are replaced. We are about 5.9 miles from N12.
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.
- Extra space for coats and shoes
- Secure place for parcels and deliveries
- Smarter, more welcoming front entrance
Questions from N12
Do I need planning permission for porch entrances in N12?
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 N12?
Lead times vary by product and workload — confirmed with your quote. Being about 5.9 miles from our factory makes surveys, fitting days and aftercare visits easy to arrange.
Does a porch need foundations?
Yes. A porch with brick dwarf walls or a solid base needs suitable foundations to avoid cracking and movement. Ground conditions, drains and nearby trees all affect what is needed, so these are checked at the survey to make sure the porch is built on a sound base.
Can I see samples before I decide?
Yes. Our showroom is at Unit G, 1 Anthony Way, London N18 3QT (Mon–Fri 8am–5pm), about 5.9 miles from N12. We can also bring samples to your home in N12 at the free survey.
