Changes to front porch

Question

Hi there,

I just bought a house and there's a small porch and WC that was added to the original property. The wall beside the entrance door seems to be made of plywood on the bottom and the tip is made of glass. I'd like to have it changed to something that at least look like a proper wall, even if it's not. My question is: do I need a builder or a carpenter to do the job? Also, do I need planning permission for this change?
Thank you so much for any advice.
I'm also open to quotations if you feel you could do the job, please.

Hi there, you need a builder for this job… and no you do not need planing promission

Hiya. By the sounds of what you have explained, it's not a supporting wall or any kind of structural wall. 
So it should be fine to have it taken out/ replaced. 
I'm a carpenter and I do this all the time. But your general builder with a good head on him will be fine. 
You have a few choices of outcome design you can go for. 
Timber study wall finished in cladding, T&G or shiplap. 
Other choice that ks the most common wpuld be to brick it up. 
Feel free to give me a message of you need any further help.
