Annexes of this type are notoriously difficult to get through planning. However, we presented a carefully constructed case, proposing tightly drafted conditions, to allay any concern the local authority might have had about the annexe being used as a separate dwelling. This was sufficient to persuaded the authority to grant conditional planning permission.

We were able to move quickly to accommodate the appeal timescale and liaised with officers and councillors to ensure that the appeal statement accurately reflected the Council’s position.

The planning Inspector accepted our analysis, which showed that the Council had overstated the degree of overlooking that would be caused, and agreed that planning permission could be granted subject to appropriate conditions to ensure that the privacy of neighbouring residents was not adversely affected.

The application had been recommended for refusal by Council planning officers. However, with our assistance, the Planning Committee was persuaded that the application should be approved and the client obtained the permission he wanted.

The new permission allows the dwelling to be used as a holiday cottage during the summer months for a temporary period of three years. We persuaded the local authority that this was justified to provide additional income to support the diversification of the farm enterprise into commercial fruit production.

We successfully argued that the proposal would comply with national and local planning policies on sustainable development by securing a beneficial use for the former annex, whilst promoting local economic and tourism development. The unit has since been let successfully and is generating income for the owners.

By responding quickly to matters raised by the local authority, we were able to ensure that the application was not delayed.
