Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The connection between the annexe and the main dwelling
  • Whether the site is a suitable location for annexe development with respect to local policies
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the local area

What decided it

The annexe's non-self-contained nature, close spatial relationship to the main dwelling, and potential for easy reintegration satisfied Policy LP02 requirements, allowing the appeal.
