Yes there is more room down there than people realise and I am sure you could construct something quite good.
However listening to Matt Ellis he said he would like something 'A little different ' down the West side, which is quite intriguing.
I would also hazard a guess that any development would also have to incorporate a media/ camera facility
It will surprise people but the footprint of the west is not much less than the seating area of the new east stand. If you raked the seating (if seated) you could make it the same height. But the people behind could claim a loss of natural light. However we do it, it will have to be clever, or we buy the residents off. Or we accept it’s a summer game, so cover is not a necessity. Truth is you need cover on average about four games a year, so you could risk it. Away fans don’t tend to complain about a lack of cover, it’s the viewing angles they hate. On a bad day there will always be space in the east stand. In other words is it worth it for the very few occasions it causes an issue.
