It was also noted that the plans include a new garage but no mention is made of demolishing the existing garaging. DC/07/0486 (T/07/12) Reckford, 14 Furze Common Road, Thakeham Two storey extension (KD) SUPPORT although it was noted that the plans as submitted do not conform with the HDC guidance note for extensions and housebuilding since the roof is not stepped down. However, as the adjoining semi detached property has a continued ridge line it would not be appropriate to insist on that in respect of this application. 7.
