Window in Garage Conversation Opinions Please!

We are converting a garage into a study at the front of the house. We asked the builder for a plain window because we want to move to all plain in future (the mock Tudor style is not for us). The builder has bought a 70/30 split window but I had imagined a 50/50 split to match the rest of the house. Before I ask for a change I wanted further opinions please. I do want to update overall but had thought to match the existing look just plain glass with no faux lead lines.

Comments (10)Sometimes you can get away with just permitted development but this is really area dependent. For example, sometimes you need planning (not full) for the changes to the front of the house or for adding services to this space.
