Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would constitute an annexe to the Verdun House and whether the development has been sufficiently justified on the grounds of need
What decided it
The proposal would not constitute an annexe to Verdun House by virtue of its scale, position and lack of physical and functional connection, and the need for an annexe has not been sufficiently justified, making it likely to become an independent dwelling contrary to Policy CO18.
The appellant's submissions regarding previous planning permissions and sustainability considerations linked to the remnants of the previous building did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CO18
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.
