Build a carport infornt of house.........

[scaffers]

Hi all

We have a pretty big plot at the front of our house and are considering erecting a timber frame carport for 2 cars, carport will have a catslide roof and closed sides, it will be to the front and left of the house as you look at it from the road. The carport will be approx 1.5m from the house but will end approx 3m or a bit more fom the end of the driveway/road. I have been told that you can't build in front of the existing building but I'm not 100% sure on the validity of this info as I'm sure a car port is deemed a temporary structure. The house is detached but there's not enough room for a double carport on the side. Re location of the house we are near the end of a cul de sac, my nearest neighbour is in the dead end bit of the road and his house is set way further back than my house so far back I can see his front door from my rear garden. With this in mind the carport won't be in his field of view.

Anyone have any experience of building a carport or similar in front of a house.

Thanks

If you're sure, then what's the issue?

I'm not sure, hence the question.

It's not a temporary structure.

My info is no doubt out of date but an old neighbour had a car port that finished at the front of his house and must have been 4 M long -maybe 5? It was just a roof on stilts, no side stuff.
