How Big Can A Carport Be Without Planning Permission. The ground area is not more than 3 square metres (measured externally). 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.
It's not used as a separate home to live in. The eaves of a carport are the parts of the roof that hang over the sides of the carport. It's not higher than 4 metres at the highest point.
This is known as ‘permitted development rights’.
The ground area that is covered by the carport is less than half the total area of your property. However, if there is a primary and secondary dwelling on the lot, two carports may be provided. Firstly by adding a porch you are increasing the square footage of your property which give you additional storage space and the value of your property. You would need to consult the local planning authority.
