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 the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy and the potential for noise and disturbance
What decided it
The building does not form self-contained accommodation as it lacks cooking facilities, and therefore the enforcement notice was corrected and planning permission granted for the ancillary residential use which does not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance or neighbouring amenity.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP1Policy DM1Policy EN1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
