Foxrock Eye Road Kenton Stowmarket Suffolk IP14 6JJ

1. 1.The proposal site does not fall within the settlement boundary of Kenton and therefore the principle of development is not established through Policy SP03 of the Babergh Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan (2023), which directs development inside defined settlement boundaries. The proposed annexe also does not meet all of the criteria outlined in Policy LP02 - Residential Annexes of the Babergh Mid Suffolk Joint Local Plan (2023). The proposed location of the annexe means that it is not "designed to easily allow for the annexe to be integrated later into the main building as a single dwellinghouse when the need no longer exists." The annexe is situated 23m from the rear elevation of the dwelling and as such integration into the main dwellinghouse at a later stage is not feasible. The proposal therefore fails to meet either SP03 or LP02 of the JLP and as such is refused.
