New porch and garage door front

[Dodget]

Re-posted in correct section..

Hi all, first post on here so be gentle ..

The current porch is nasty, so it's coming down. Got new door and Windows on the way. I want to make better use of the side of the house and to also make it more private. I want to to rebuild the porch, exact size and shape as before, but to carry the roofline along to next doors extension so that I can put a roller garage door on the front.
Seeing as the side of the roof which adjoins to next doors flat roof will leave a small wedge shape visible from the side, I guess I'd just fill that in with fascia board or similar?
I'd then do the same at the rear of the new roof where it goes down to meet the current sloping carport roof.
Then, will fit some double doors at the rear of the carport to close it off.
Basically making a budget garage.
Sound ok or is there any way I can improve the idea whilst keeping the spend low?
Thanks. Oh and got a builder coming round tomorrow night to give his opinion, but I'd be interested in others views too ta.

The way to do it would be to extend the tile line right across the front to match the portch's one, then with more tile or flashing drop the back, behind the ridge tiles, back down to the garage roof line. I think you have a severe problem with the depth of the roof at your neighbour's side. Can you actually get a roller door wound up in this depth.

You might attract the attention of Planning, if you appear to be extending at the front of the house...

Enclosing a carport would need planning permisison

TPoD - kind of the ideas I was thinking. The door will actually be set back approx a foot from the front face of the porch / extension, there is plenty of headroom for the roller door.

I've already sent off a "do I need planning permission" form to the LPA, so waiting on feedback.

Thanks.
