Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the outbuilding is or would be tantamount to a separate self-contained dwellinghouse
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding properties and area
- Whether there is sufficient information on which to assess the flood risk of the development
What decided it
The absence of cooking facilities in the outbuilding means occupants would necessarily rely on the main dwelling for day-to-day domestic needs, establishing a functional link that prevents it from being a separate self-contained dwelling.

- Development plan policies
