Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of existing occupiers of the existing dwelling and the future occupiers of the proposed annex, with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance
  • the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal would remain ancillary to the main dwelling through functional linkage, shared access, and a condition restricting occupation, thereby avoiding harm to living conditions and character while according with the development plan.
