Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed building would constitute a separate dwelling
What decided it
The proposed building, despite being detached and relatively large, would appear subservient to the main dwelling, lack independent kitchen facilities, and be used in an ancillary form as part of the main house, and therefore would not constitute a separate dwelling.
