Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an appropriate functional link between the residential annexe and the proposed use of the building
- Whether the proposed use of the annexe would have a satisfactory living environment for future occupiers
- Whether the use of the annexe as proposed would harm the living conditions of the occupiers of No.12 Milverton Green
- Whether adequate off-street parking would be provided with regard to pedestrian and vehicular safety on the highway
- Whether the proposed development is required to provide Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
What decided it
The condition prohibiting temporary rental accommodation was inserted to safeguard amenities of the surrounding area, but the Inspector found no identifiable harm would result from the proposed use compared to the permitted residential annexe use.
