Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and area in general
  • Whether the proposed development would function as an annex

What decided it

The proposed development would not function as an annex because the evidence demonstrated insufficient shared living activity between the occupants of the main property and the proposed annex, contrary to the legal test for annex status.
