Residential Amenity
Excessive scale and height of the proposed garage extension creates a second dwelling unit, out of character with surrounding development and contrary to area amenities.
Ashford Town Plan 2016-2022; Settlement Level 5 - Small Growth Townsrepresents a second housing unit on site and would therefore be out of character with the existing pattern of development in the vicinity
Other
Development is not ancillary to the main dwelling and lacks justification for its scale or need.
County Development Plan standardscould not be considered ancillary to the main dwelling... To allow this structure would set an undesirable precedent for similar large scale development in the absence of a genuine need
