Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects the proposed replacement outbuilding would have on the character and appearance of the appeal property at No 19 St Andrews Grove and the wider surrounding area
  • the quality of the living accommodation that would be provided and the residential amenity of occupiers and neighbours
  • whether the proposed annexe would have a truly ancillary relationship to the main dwelling

What decided it

The proposed granny annex would maintain a truly ancillary relationship to the main dwelling within a single planning unit, being modest in scale, lacking independent access, and subordinate in appearance to the host dwelling.
