Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the scale and character of the appeal proposal on the immediate surroundings and pattern of development
  • Possible harm to neighbours arising from the appeal building if it became a separate dwelling

What decided it

The imposition of conditions preventing independent access and restricting the annexe to use incidental to the main dwelling adequately addressed the council's concerns about potential conversion to a separate dwelling.
