Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of the property with regard to outlook and amenity space
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The imposition of a condition restricting occupation to ancillary use as part of the single residential use of the host dwelling addressed concerns about independent use and, combined with the physical circumstances preventing realistic formation of separate access, made the development acceptable.
