Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition requiring demolition of the bungalow meets the tests for planning conditions, particularly whether it remains necessary with respect to the use of the building as an annexe for ancillary purposes to the occupation of the main house
- Whether the condition remains necessary with respect to the risks of flooding from the nearby stream and whether it is necessary to consider sequentially preferable sites at lower risk
What decided it
The bungalow's intimate functional and physical relationship with the main dwelling and its occupation by the same family unit means it forms part of a single planning unit and can lawfully be retained as ancillary accommodation subject to a restrictive condition, making the original demolition condition unnecessary.
