I have recently built an extension to the rear of the bungalow. Originally this was a gable end and the sunblind was rawlbolted with no problem. However, the extension is hip ended and thus has one course of blocks on a Catnic lintel. Will this single course support the sunblind OK with chemical fixings (rawlbolts will split the block) or is there an alternative other than abandoning the sunblind.

No - it won't support the sunblind with any kind of fixing. The blind will just pull the bricks away.
You will probably need some sort of [flat] steel sections fixed vertically part way down each side of the opening which are in turn connected to a steel (or possibly timber) section across the top which you can fit the awning to
