Change material and appearance of existing porch
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.25 PM
Hi, I have a porch on the front of my house. Half stone and half glass (like conservatory finish with plastic roofing sheets) i wish to remove all the glass and replace with stone. Will be solid stone porch with stone tiles roof. The structures was built prior to 1948 so no building regs or planning needed then, Checked with solicitor when bough house. As i want to change it's appearance and improve thermal element do i need planning permission? The boundary is within 1-2 meters of a pavement. I am also not sure if foundations will be deep enough to hold more stone and heavy roof so may need to knock down and rebuild in same footprint. There is sign of damp proofing in existing stone work though.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?
