Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance and the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties if Condition 2 were to be removed
- the effect of the development upon the living conditions of the future occupiers of the development and the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties if Condition 4 were to be removed
What decided it
Condition 2 was necessary and reasonable to control the development's appearance and layout, while Condition 4 required revision to be sufficiently precise in preventing the annexe from becoming a separate unit of accommodation.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DC61
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
