I think the costs for awnings and porch awnings will refer to caravans, we have never been charged for using a tent extension pretty similar in size to what you describe, we just inform the campsite of our tent size (if needed when booking), and add the extension after pitching, as long as it fits on the pitch it should be fine.
I agree with ficklejade, some sites will charge you for everything they can think of, thankfully these are in the minority in my experience.

ficklejade. seriously, that is bad!! I hope you told them where to go....!
The worst we had was an overnight stop in the Lake District, we had two small tents, one 3 man for our two teenagers and the dog, and one 2 man for us, both on the same pitch, no electric needed, we had not prebooked but had confirmed with the site that they had space for us before we set off.
On arrival, we were shown to a grassed area, we were the only tent there, and surrounded by the access road with caravans pitched all round the edge of that. The grass was so boggy that the campsite warden had to literally point out exactly where to pitch, we were only about 4 feet apart in our tents and yet they wanted to charge us for two pitches, bearing in mind the dreadful condition of the pitch and that they weren't electric pitches we argued but they were not having it. It was late and we were tired after a long drive so we eventually gave in, but considering we were only actually there for 12 hours, we were charged £32 without electric hookup.
It was that alone that made me resolve never to go back there, they don't even advertise a price tariff on their website, so although we should have checked beforehand, I relied on the good reviews on here alone, mistake!
It was a nice site in other ways and had we not felt ripped off by their charges we would have returned.
Some businesses simply do not help themselves, so voting with your feet is the only way to send the message.
