Planning to have awning cover side of the house (corner). There is ditch outside the wall. If I make the awning 1ft across the wall which the rain water from awning will flow to the ditch instead of on the wall. If that allowable?

QUOTE(kirakun @ May 16 2019, 05:05 PM) Technically your external wall is the boundary of your property aka house. Anything outside the wall either belong to council or others. That's what I'm being told by my main contractor. However, the contractor who does awning told me as long as it is less than 3ft outside the wall then is fine.  Of course, understand that what you and the main contractor said is true. QUOTE(glasgowkitchen @ May 17 2019, 12:28 AM) I do see lots of people in older housing areas doing it. Older houses used to have louvre window (end lot) but they upgrade to the modern window (push out) and put an awning on top that encroaches into the road space. However there is a lot of damaged awnings especially the ones on the ground floor. There is 0.5ft space from the wall to the ditch, then the ditch itself around 3ft, then beside the ditch is a small alley for one way traffic. So I don't think it will be hit by truck.By the way, what is next to the ditch? If there is a road next to the ditch and a truck drives by and hits it, I wonder whether the house owner will be liable for the damage of the truck.... Have you heard about anyone build the awning across the wall get penalty or order to demolish it by authority? |
