Window cut-down

Hi there


Looking for some advice if possible please. We are having a new front door fitted tomorrow and it will go where the existing porch door is in the picture. The porch was added after the house was built so the front door you see in the picture is on the original external wall of the house.


Our plan is to remove the current front door and the wall section below the window, make it good and then install an internal door with a glass panel sidelight, and our builder already started cutting it down as you can see in the image. However one thing I hadn’t really considered was the fact that it’s an external wall, and whether or not the section below the window is supporting anything. Are cut-downs like this OK? Would rather know before we go ahead and remove it! :D
