Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the outbuilding provides satisfactory living conditions by virtue of its size, privacy, amenity space and personal bin and cycle storage
- The effect of the residential use of the outbuilding on the character of the area
- The effect of the residential use of the outbuilding on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants by virtue of noise and disturbance
- The effect of the timber framed extension on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the timber framed extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants
What decided it
The outbuilding fails to provide satisfactory living conditions for its occupants due to its modest size and limited external amenity space, and its self-contained residential use harms the character of the area contrary to development plan policies.
