Why it was refused

  1. Annexe accommodation is expected to have some form of reliance on the main dwellinghouse. However, and given the internal layout of this annexe which includes two bedrooms, living space, a kitchen, dining area and two bathrooms (one en-suite), plus a separate vehicular access with EV charging and private amenity space with a simple modification to the garden (a dividing fence), it fails to fully demonstrate an ancillary use to the main dwellinghouse. The resultant accommodation therefore does not have an appropriate relationship to the main dwellinghouse and is tantamount to a new dwelling being created. The proposed development is contrary to Policies CS1 and CS5 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Core Strategy (Adopted) December 2013; Policies PSP38 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan: Policies, Sites and Places Plan (Adopted) November 2017; the adopted SGC Annexes & Outbuildings Supplementary Strategic Planning, South Gloucestershire Council, Department For Place, PO Box 1954, Bristol, BS37 0DD P26/01847/HH REZREZ
