Do I Need Planning Permission To Build A Carport. If you wanted to sell your 350m2 property and didn’t declare the extra 50m2 extension you built illegally, your notaire will probably refuse to proceed with the sale until everything is regularised. Building a new attached carport (open on at least two sides) would not normally require building regulations approval if it is less than 30 square metres in floor area.
The short answer is no. You shouldn’t need planning permission to build a carport. Canopies are considered extensions and their dimensions must fall within the “permitted development� allowance every home has.
As long as your new porch conforms with the criteria below, you don’t need planning permission.
The short answer is no. If you are building a new house and want to add a garage or carport, approval should be part of the building application for your house. If you wanted to sell your 350m2 property and didn’t declare the extra 50m2 extension you built illegally, your notaire will probably refuse to proceed with the sale until everything is regularised. If you build an oak garage or carport that obeys all the rules listed above without planning permission, you are safe.
