Doing a rewire at the moment which is part of a full refurb of a bungalow. As usually happens some additional works were requested and spec changes made. Outside lighting and garage power for example. Anyway, whilst discussing my intentions (with another spark not on this job) I said that I was going to up the board to a 12 way, and put the outside lights (5 bulkhead type, two with PIR) onto their own MCB. For the garage I'm putting a 40a RCBO into the CU to feed a two way board with a 32a and 6a MCB for the power and lights respectively. It just seemed a sensible approach to me, but he seemed to think that it was going over the top. I told him, well a shorter version of "I disagree my good fellow. Further more as it is I who have been engaged to complete this work, you should trouble yourself no further with it." 
It's got me thinking now though, hence the question on here. Am I over doing it?
His suggestions by the way were that the outside lights could be combined on one of the three other lighting circuits, and the garage should just be on a 32a MCB off of the CU.
