Authority: London Borough of Hillingdon
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal

Inspector: Perrins N

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would constitute a separate unit of residential accommodation rather than an ancillary use
If so, the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, living conditions for future occupiers and neighbouring properties and parking

What decided it

The outbuilding would be used for ancillary accommodation only, with the family operating as a single household, rather than as a separate independent dwelling, and therefore complies with Policy DMHD2 of the Development Management Policies.

Framework references: 57

Plan policies cited: Policy DNH4, Policy DMHB11, Policy DMHB16, Policy DMT6, Policy DMHD2
