the erection of a cabin to provide ancillary annexe accommodation

Authority: Buckinghamshire Council - Aylesbury Area *
Appeal type: householder · Householder (HAS)
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Westbrook J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposed cabin should be considered as an annexe to the main house at The Wilds or as a separate new dwelling
The effect of the cabin on the character and appearance of the area around the north-western edge of Westbury

What decided it

The cabin's location extending the village built envelope into open countryside at the north-western edge of Westbury causes harmful visual encroachment that conflicts with Policy B2, notwithstanding that it could be controlled as an annexe use.

Plan policies cited: Policy B2, Policy D4
