Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute a residential annexe or a separate residential unit, and subsequently, whether this is a suitable location for the proposal in the context of development plan policies for the location of new development
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal's classification as a residential annexe rather than a separate residential unit, combined with its sympathetic design and modest scale relative to the host dwelling, meant it was appropriately located and would not harm character and appearance.
Plan policies cited: CS1.1, CS8.10, DM1, DM2, DM16
