sloppy driveway

Hi all,
My new house doesn’t have a driveway so we are thinking to apply to construct one. There is no access to the back of the property and the front is quite sloppy which is likely the reason of no driveway being built in the first place.
So to get a chance of getting approval, I am thinking to spread out the gradient of the driveway by demolishing the front wall of bed 2, extending the roof and do concrete footing to make it an open carport. Then I will convert lounge into a master bed by opening a window. Bed 2 is nice but as the house is close to the main road and faces west, it can be quite noisy and hot (in summer). The other thing is that we need to replace all the front windows anyway as they are from old ages so often get stuck or not close properly; heat and noise insulation is also an issue. We also need to render/repaint the external wall at some points so I need a final answer whether a driveway is doable before doing anything else.
Please let me know what everyone think.
Cheers,
Long
