Do I Need Building Regulations?
A porch is normally exempt from Building Regulation Approval if it is built at ground level and is under 3 square metres in floor area. This is provided that the glazing and fixed electrical installations comply with the appropriate sections of the building regulations (see competent person scheme)
For a porch to be exempt from building regulations approval:
- the front entrance door between the exisitng house and the new porch must remain in place.
- If the house has a ramped or level access for disabled people, the porch must not adversely affect access.
