How far can a doorstep reach?

Are there any building restrictions on how far doorsteps can extend out onto the pavement .
The house wall is 2.8 meters form the kerb and the drop from the doorsill to the pavement is 42cm our builder says I have to stay within the footprint of the existing steps but these are too steep any advice.

    Assume you can’t build anything on the pavement unless you own it or unless you have permission from whoever owns the pavement – usually the Highways Authority.
