Why it was refused
- Policies LP2 and LP16 of the Fenland Local Plan 2014 seek to deliver and protect high quality environments, provide high levels of residential amenity, promote and facilitate healthy lifestyles and avoid adverse impacts. An annexe should be ancillary to the main dwelling with a clear functional relationship between the main dwelling and occupants of the annexe. The annexe should appear subservient in size and scale to the original dwelling and should not be easily capable of subdivision from the original dwelling. The proposed mobile home annexes would be separate from the main dwelling and appear from the road to be a separate dwelling of significant scale. Planning Decision Notice F/YR26/0409/F Town and Country Planning Act 1990 The proposal is for entirely self-contained units of accommodation, capable of independent living, there is no dependency on the host dwelling either in terms of the accommodation provided nor practically, and as such is it considered tantamount to a new dwelling, with potential to become a separate planning units. Therefore, the proposal is considered contrary to the aforementioned policies.
From the council's decision notice.
