Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development is tantamount to a self-contained dwelling
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 140 and 144 Bridge Road and 143, 145 and 147 Compton Crescent, with particular regard to noise

What decided it

The annex would not be occupied as a separate self-contained dwelling due to its physical proximity to the main house, familial occupancy, shared facilities, and the plot layout which prevents subdivision, combined with the conclusion that any noise impact would be acceptable within a residential setting.
