Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the condition is necessary to ensure the annex remains incidental to use of The Old Barn as a single-family dwelling

What decided it

The condition is not necessary because the annex lacks a full kitchen and remains functionally connected to the main house, meaning any future separate dwelling use would require a separate planning application regardless of whether the condition exists.

What the Inspector cited

National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 56

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.
