Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed summer house represents an outbuilding that is part and parcel of the existing dwellinghouse and accords with relevant planning policies that relate to residential annexes
- Whether or not the development would meet the requirements for the provision of biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The proposed summer house would function as a residential annexe ancillary to the main dwelling rather than a separate dwelling, and would preserve the setting of the Grade II listed building through its discrete rear location and subservient design, while the development would achieve the required 10% biodiversity net gain.
