Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the principle of the annexe would be appropriate in this location
  • whether the living conditions of present and future occupants of the main house would be adversely affected by the proximity of the development to the main house in terms of overlooking and access to private garden and parking space

What decided it

The annexe would be functionally linked to the main dwelling through shared facilities and its modest size would make it unsuitable for independent occupation, meaning it could be appropriately controlled by condition to prevent separate use.
