Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is an annex or a self-contained residential unit
- if the proposal is a self-contained residential unit, whether this is an appropriate location having regard to the spatial strategy in the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to conserving and enhancing the landscape and scenic beauty of the Dedham Vale National Landscape
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
- the effect of the proposed development on living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal constitutes a self-contained residential unit located outside the settlement boundary in countryside, contrary to the spatial strategy, and would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Dedham Vale National Landscape through tandem development and suburbanising effects.
