you build a porch.
|
Adding an external porch to the front or back door can stop draughts entering the house. It also provides useful space for coats and shoes - so mud and dirt is not trodden through the house - and can double as a mini-greenhouse for delicate or even tropical plants. A part-glazed porch will allow you to keep the outer access locked until you have identified callers. Planning permission is not needed unless the floor area exceeds 2m sq. or any part is more than 3m (9ft) high, or less than 2m (6ft) from a boundary adjoining a public highway or foot-path. Ready-made porches are available in kit form in a range of styles that are easy to erect, and don't require masonry foundations or supporting walls. You will of course need a solid foundation for any such work.
