Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of residents of No 31
- Whether the development is the minimum level of accommodation required and capable of independent residential use
- Whether 'permitted development' rights provide a fallback position sufficient to justify the development which has occurred
What decided it
The development accords with the development plan when the store element is removed and appropriate conditions are imposed to restrict use to an annexe and protect neighbour privacy.
