Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed family annexe would be tantamount to the creation of an independent dwelling
  • the effect of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of 12 Dorney Road, with regard to the sense of enclosure to No.12's rear garden

What decided it

The proposed family annexe would remain ancillary to the principal dwelling through its design, access arrangements, and functional link, and the rear extension would not materially harm the living conditions of the neighbouring property.
