Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would accord with WLP Policy DC19, with regard to the need for the annex accommodation to be physically attached to the host dwelling
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the High Weald National Landscape
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of Knoll Barn with specific regard to outlook and overshadowing
What decided it
The imposition of a condition restricting the annex to ancillary use of the main dwelling, combined with the sympathetic design that conserves the National Landscape character and does not harm neighbouring amenity, justified allowing the appeal.
