Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the Thorpe End Garden Village Conservation Area

What decided it

The scale and mass of the proposed two-storey extension would overwhelm the existing dwelling to the detriment of its character and appearance and fail to protect or enhance the conservation area, whereas the detached garage would be a low-key structure with acceptable impact.
