Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the annexe would be ancillary or incidental to the main dwelling or a separate independent dwelling unit
- the effects of the proposed development in relation to the character and appearance of the host property and wider area
- the effects of the proposed development in relation to the living conditions of surrounding occupiers in terms of noise, disturbance and general activity
What decided it
The proposed annexe would function as a separate independent dwelling unit rather than ancillary accommodation due to its complete facilities, detached siting, and potential for independent access, combined with the incongruous and congested built form created by the layout of the two outbuildings.
