Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would represent an appropriate change to the local residential environment, taking into account the principle of the intended occupation as a residential annexe and its effects upon the amenity of neighbouring occupiers with regard to the potential for overlooking and loss of privacy and upon highway safety
What decided it
The proposed development would represent an inappropriate change to the local residential environment due to the unjustified principle of occupation as a residential annexe, harmful overlooking and privacy impacts on neighbours, and inadequate parking provision creating highway safety concerns.
Plan policies cited: Policy D1 (Design Quality and Built Environment), Policy H4 (Effective Use of Land), Policy T2 (Accessibility)
