Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for a residential annexe and whether it is tantamount to the creation of a new dwelling
What decided it
The imposition of a condition tying the annexe to the main dwelling as ancillary accommodation, combined with the neutral visual impact and modest scale, allows the proposal to comply with development plan policies despite the site's potential to function as an independent dwelling.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP6 of the Rutland Local Plan Site Allocations and Policies Development Plan Document 2014Policy CS4 of the Rutland Core Strategy Development Plan Document 2011
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.
