The Working Party welcomed the proposal to the house as an improvement but feels the design of the garden room would be improved by a smaller brick plinth and larger area of glazing.  Also that it should be constructed from timber with a painted finish, colour to be agreed.  The garage door should be painted an appropriate neutral colour.

No objections subject to the proposed conservatory being constructed from timber and with a painted finish.
