Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed condition to permit the continuation of the current use of the access would meet the policy requirements set out in Policy SCLP5.13 'Residential Annexes', Policy SCLP5.3 'Housing in the Countryside' and Policy SCLP5.12 'Houses in Multiple Occupation' of the East Suffolk Council – Suffolk Coastal Local Plan
  • Whether there is any effect on the amenity of existing occupiers in the vicinity of the development by way of increased noise and disturbance

What decided it

The current use of the annex does not comply with the terms of condition 9 or Policies SCLP5.3 and SCLP5.13, as the young footballers are neither employees, relatives, nor parents of the householder, and the arrangement does not constitute a single ancillary household.

Plan policies cited: Policy SCLP5.13 'Residential Annexes', Policy SCLP5.3 'Housing in the Countryside', Policy SCLP5.12 'Houses in Multiple Occupation'
