Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a separate residential unit is created including the effect on the character of the surrounding area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of light and overbearing effect
What decided it
The garden building constitutes a separate dwelling that is harmful to the character of the surrounding area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
