Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would amount to an unacceptable independent dwelling
  • the effect of the proposal on archaeological remains

What decided it

The imposition of a condition precluding independent use or severance of the two buildings, combined with the already-established principle of ancillary accommodation and the close physical relationship between the buildings, made the proposal acceptable as annexe accommodation rather than an independent dwelling.
