Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the use of the outbuilding as self-contained accommodation provides a satisfactory standard of accommodation for existing or future occupiers
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to remedy the breach
What decided it
The use of the outbuilding as a self-contained dwelling creates unacceptable living conditions for both occupants and neighbours through loss of privacy, inadequate amenities, and incompatibility with the character of the area, and therefore fails to accord with development plan policies.
