Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in the creation of an independent dwelling

What decided it

The proposed annexe would not result in the creation of an independent dwelling due to the significant functional relationship between the host dwelling and annexe, including shared services, parking, garden, and close physical proximity.
