Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the host property and the area and its effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise disturbance
What decided it
The building's location within the rear garden, modest proportions relative to the host property, shared garden and access arrangements, and the reasonable likelihood of shared activities between occupants meant the development would function as an ancillary annexe rather than independent residential accommodation, and could be secured by condition to prevent adverse impacts on character and neighbouring living conditions.
