Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would potentially be an independent residential use in the open countryside, as precluded by development plan policies and Government policy in the National Planning Policy Framework
What decided it
The close siting of the proposed annexe to Bagwell House within its domestic curtilage, combined with the visual dominance of the main house and the application of conditions restricting the use to purposes ancillary to the dwelling, meant that any future severance would be perceived as incongruous and harmful, thereby mitigating the Council's concerns about independent use.
