Adding a porch to a front extension - PD?

[Rob99]

We obtained full planning for our front extension, which is now complete, but are finding that the new front door position on the face of the extension is a bit exposed. Previously the front door was recessed back from the front house wall by about 1.2m and I'm thinking about adding a small porch.

 

Would this new porch be classed as PD (as porches would be normally) or does the new extension change things somewhat and I'd need planning permission (which I suspect they'd refuse) ?

PD applies to the original house.

You would need planning, unless you were putting the porch on the front of the original house (e.g if the front extension made an L shape)

Class A (Extensions) apply to the original house but I don't see that condition in class D Porches..

Thanks

Seems quite clear that it falls under PD.

I've also checked the original PP and there are no conditions which would disallow a porch.
