Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal results in the creation of an independent residential unit of accommodation and the implications of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- If the proposal would result in the creation of an independent residential unit of accommodation, the effect of this on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands Special Protection Area and Ramsar Site, and the Dorset Heaths Special Area of Conservation
What decided it
The proposal does not create an independent residential unit of accommodation because the original permission and Condition 2 restrict the annexe to ancillary use, and a kitchenette can function within that ancillary purpose without constituting a material change of use.
