Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future residents with particular regard to amenity space
- whether the proposal would provide adequate bicycle storage with particular regard to relevant adopted local planning policies
What decided it
The annexe already visually functions as a separate dwelling unit within the site, and the change of use would not materially alter the character and appearance of the area or provide inadequate living conditions for future residents.
Plan policies cited: Policy 50, Policy 52, Policy 55, Policy 56, Policy 57, Policy 82, Appendix L
