Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in keeping with and remain ancillary to the host property and thereby its effect on the appearance of the street scene and character of the wider area
What decided it
The modest increase in height and floor area, combined with the small size of the annexe and its dependency on the host property for amenities, would not result in harm to the street scene or wider area character when subject to a condition restricting independent use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (Adopted October 2012)
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.
