I want to do similar for the same reason. I hope you can do it so I can watch your progress :-) | |

My parents bought their house new and it stated that they were not allowed to have a wall, fence or hedge across the front for so many years. You might have something similar in place. | |

quote: Why, as long as it meets the following its permitted development 1. Ground area of the porch, measured externally, not to exceed three square metres. 2. Highest part of the porch not to exceed three metres. 3. No part of the porch to be within two metres of any boundary that fronts a highway. You might not be allowed due to a local covenant etc but not planning permission. Most new builds do have some forms of covenants for 5 or even 10 years depending on what you want to do. | |

Would need planning permission for any work on the front of the property | |

Mind the covenants, warranty/nhbc, fucking off the neighbours etc. I'd be quite surprised if you can make changes like that after 5 years. | |

Yea first owners march 2010. I totally get your point of view... However these newbuild houses come with no inside storage whatsoever. The single buggy fits in the cloakroom now but the double buggy we need in a few weeks won't and it isn't the sort of thing you can just wheel in the house thanks to the layout and the kiddie gate on the internal doors. Having no garage or rear access is a complete arse! | |

It looks like a relativity new building, so i wonder if there will be any sort of rules/covenants stopping you from drastically altering the front exterior. | |

Need a couple of square meters for keeping the buggy, coats and shoes etc and porch would be ideal. Here's what the front currently looks like |
