Building Regulations do not apply to a carport provided the carport is open on at least two sides AND the floor area does not exceed 30 square metres

Building Regulations

If you want to put up small detached buildings such as a garden shed or summerhouse in your garden, building regulations will not normally apply if the floor area of the building is less than 15 square metres.

If the floor area of the building is between 15 square metres and 30 square metres, you will not normally be required to apply for building regulations approval providing that the building is either at least one metre from any boundary or it is constructed of substantially non-combustible materials.
In both cases, building regulations do not apply ONLY if the building does not contain any sleeping accommodation.
Note 1 - In all cases size is calculated from external measurement, and thereis an upper limit of 115 cubic metres.

Do I require permission for a carport?

You will not require permission, provided you can comply with the Rules for building a garage. Note 1 also applies and is calculated using imaginary walls.
