Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the principle of a residential annex, ancillary to the use of the main dwelling house, would be acceptable
- The effect of the use of the outbuilding for ancillary residential purposes on the living conditions of neighbours at 58 and 60 Burnaby Gardens with respect to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The outbuilding's physical characteristics (modest size, subservient appearance, enclosed location within the rear garden) combined with evidence of genuine housing need for an elderly relative and the ability to control the use through planning condition satisfied the Inspector that the development was acceptable in principle and would not harm neighbours' amenity.
