Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal adheres to development plan policy
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on neighbouring amenity for occupiers of 52 & 56 Chelston Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether the proposal would result in acceptable living conditions for occupants of the appeal site
What decided it
The proposal would render the outbuilding capable of independent residential use by introducing a bed and living room, conflicting with Policy DMHD 2's requirement that outbuildings remain incidental to the main dwelling and not capable of independent occupation.
Plan policies cited: Policy DMHD 2, Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMHB 16, Policy DMHB 18, Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021)
