Building lean-to style open porch over boiler flue/vent

Hi, Our boiler is in the kitchen and it's vent/flue sits in the external kitchen wall at the front of the house. We want to build a lean-to style timber framed porch with a (corrugated?) plastic roof along that wall creating light unenclosed porch/veranda outside the kitchen windows, but the vent/flue will be under it - maybe about 1ft from where the apex of the lean-to meets the wall. The porch will be open along the front, and one end (the other end will butt up against a brick wall. We just want somewhere to put a bench for having a cuppa and taking our boots off in the rain. Is this design safe? Many thanks in advance for your kind assistance!
