Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed annexe would provide suitable accommodation for dependants, having regard to the Council's policies
What decided it
The evidence that the proposed annexe would be used incidentally to the enjoyment of Larches House and would not result in a separate planning unit, combined with the practical constraints of the site layout that made an attached annexe impractical, justified the departure from Policy SAL.DPL6.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SAL.DPL6Policy 8E
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.
