Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme is a suitable location for the proposed residential accommodation, having regard to whether the annexe would be ancillary or incidental to the main dwelling or a separate independent dwelling unit, the location of the site within open countryside and the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed annexe would be capable of functioning as a separate independent dwelling unit rather than ancillary accommodation, and its layout and form would materially harm the character and appearance of the National Park countryside through intensification of development contrary to Policies SD31 and SD25.
Framework references: 15
