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.
