Design requirements for new porches and bay windows
New porches and bay windows should reflect the original design and character of the property, be modest in scale, and match the style, age, materials, proportions and roof style of the original building. For semi-detached and terraced properties, neighbouring property symmetry and design must be considered.
It is important that a new porch or bay window reflects the design and character of the property, and should be designed to look like an original part of the property. Proposals for porches or bay windows should normally be modest in scale and reflect the style, age, materials, proportions and roof style of the original property. On semi-detached and terraced properties, it is particularly important to consider the symmetry and design of neighbouring properties.
