Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would constitute an annexe to the main dwelling
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on protected species

What decided it

The functional connection between the annexe and main dwelling, combined with the subservient scale of the proposal and the material fallback position of the approved garage permission, demonstrated that the development would accord with relevant policies and cause no harm to character, appearance, or protected species.
