Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would result in overdevelopment of the site
  • the impact of the proposal upon the amenity of No. 25 Bolton Close with regard to overlooking
  • whether the proposal is capable of forming a separate residential unit

What decided it

The proposal presents as a separate attached dwelling capable of independent occupation rather than genuine ancillary accommodation, contrary to Policy DM9, and the cumulative extensions result in overdevelopment uncharacteristic of the area contrary to Policies CS1, BE1 and BE3.
