Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed annexe would be an appropriate form of development in this location, with particular regard to whether it would be tantamount to the creation of a new dwelling and its effect on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed annexe would result in unacceptably harmful effects on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area due to its position outside the settlement boundary in the countryside and the intensity of residential use created by two ancillary buildings in close proximity, contrary to Policies DP13 and DM13.
