Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the annex has been used lawfully in accordance with Condition 3 of the original planning permission, which required the accommodation to be occupied only in connection with and incidental to the occupation of the existing dwelling and not as a separate independent dwelling unit
What decided it
The evidence demonstrated that the annex had been occupied as a separate, independent dwelling unit with separate utilities, commercial tenancy arrangements, and restricted access to shared facilities, rather than as an incidental and ancillary use to the main dwelling as required by Condition 3.
