Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would form a residential annexe and whether acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of the proposal would be provided with regard to internal living space, storage and private amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the annexe would form part and parcel of the established residential use of the host dwelling rather than an independent dwelling, combined with acceptable living conditions for occupants and no unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity, justified allowing the appeal.
