Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute annexe accommodation and, if so, whether the proposal would accord with the relevant development plan policies having regard to its scale, size, and mass
What decided it
The proposed annexe would be read and experienced as disproportionate in size relative to the original dwelling and would fail to respect the character of the existing dwelling in this rural location, conflicting with the development plan policies.
The benefits of providing accommodation for an elderly relative and retention of existing buildings did not outweigh the harm identified in terms of disproportionate scale, size, and mass conflicting with development plan policies
Plan policies cited: Policy HOU11, Policy HOU12, Policy GEN05, Policy GEN03, Policy HOU03
