Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The design of the schemes and their effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
Appeal B only: the effect of the scheme on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property with regard to overshadowing and outlook

What decided it

Appeal A: the proposed garage's substantial size, height and proximity to the front boundary would make it unduly prominent and out of keeping with the open frontages characteristic of Garden Road. Appeal B: the alterations would not appear incongruous or disproportionate to the dwelling and would be compatible with the variety of roof forms and styles found on Garden Road.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy 2 of the Joint Core Strategy for Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk (amended 2014)Policy GC4 of the Broadland Local Plan Development Management DPD 2015Policy HOU4 of the Blofield Neighbourhood Plan
