Small porch roof... rafter ties required?

[SuperPav]

Just got to wall plate level on the new porch to the existing house. I want to get the rafters up, but wanted to check if for a porch this size (tied into the existing walls), any rafter ties are required, or if I can get away without them.

 

The porch is only 1.2m deep, 1.5m between wall plates. so 3 pairs of 6x2 rafters. I'd prefer to have a pitched ceiling in the porch, so would omit the ties, but if required, I'll put some raised ties at 1/3 up the rafter.

will be fine on something that small, truss clip the trusses to the wall plate to belt and braces it.
