- Whether the appeal site is an acceptable location for the development proposed
What decided it
The annexe has functioned as a quasi-independent dwelling for over 30 years with separate Council Tax since 1993, the original justification for the ancillary restriction has expired, and the location is acceptably accessible in a rural context, such that the proposal complies with Policy D8 and causes no material harm.
