Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the resulting annexe, with particular reference to its size, scale and layout, would be consistent with development plan policy relating to the provision of residential annexes in the area
What decided it
The resulting annexe, with its size, scale and layout, is consistent with development plan policy HOU13 because the additional floor area beyond the Technical Housing Standards is fully justified by the specific accessibility needs of the intended elderly occupant and the annexe would remain functionally and legally ancillary to the main dwelling.
Plan policies cited: Policy HOU13, Policy GBR2, Policy HOU11, Policy DES4, Policy HA7
