Guttering and roller shutter "forward" of principle elevation.

[Amigafan2003]

Hi all.

We're about to get a flat roof side extension (garage to the front and kitchen to the rear). The extension block/brickwork sits flush with the front elevation of the house. In order to maximise drive through width, I'm toying with the idea of fitting the garage roller shutter externally (300mm box).

My question is, does guttering, fascia's and externally mounted roller shutters count as construction "forward of the principle elevation"?

If it helps, the frontage has a bay window and a projecting roof over the front door, like this house with the silver car on the driveway:-

Many thanks in advance for your time.

Minor projections such as the gutter, fascia, security grilles, shutter boxes etc are not counted; it is the wall itself which must not go forward of the principal elevation.

However mounting a 'garage roller shutter externally (300mm box)' would look utter toss.

It would, but needs must. Don't really care what it looks like, it's a house, not a fashion parade

I think in neutral colours that match the guttering/soffits they can look ok. this is what I was thinking:-

Sure, but what's that red stuff either side of the shutter?
