Why it was refused

  1. The proposed garage, by way of its scale and location in relation to the single storey bungalow dwellings along Holmwood Avenue, would result in a dominant, bulky and disproportionate addition in comparison to the existing street scene which would be to the detriment of both the visual amenity and the character and appearance of the surrounding area contrary to Policy BE14 of the adopted Brentwood Local Plan as well as the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
