Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the locality
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of future occupiers with regards to natural light and ventilation
  • Whether the proposed development has demonstrated sufficient parking and layout in accordance with development plan policies

What decided it

The combination of the annexe's dominant and incongruous appearance in the rear garden, its weak functional relationship to the host building due to independent access and facilities, and the unsafe and inconvenient parking and access arrangements that could not be adequately controlled by condition.
