Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding properties
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The imposition of a planning condition restricting the converted garage to ancillary use incidental to the main dwelling, combined with the ability to take enforcement action if this were breached, ensures the development would not create a separate planning unit and would comply with Policy 7 of the Bromley Local Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy 7, Policy 37, Policy 32
