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.

Plan policies cited: 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 2015, Policy HOU4 of the Blofield Neighbourhood Plan
