H12 - SELF-CONTAINED RESIDENTIAL ANNEXE TO PROVIDE ANCILLARY ACCOMMODATION

Proposals to provide a self-contained annexe ancillary to a dwelling will only be permitted where:

  • the annexe would be in the form of an extension to the existing dwelling and would be capable of being fully integrated with the dwelling when no longer required for its original purpose; and
  • it is designed so that sub-division into a separate unit of accommodation would be impracticable; and
  • proposals for extensions to existing buildings would harmonise with the scale, height, form and design of the original building; and
  • the new accommodation would be clearly subordinate in scale to the existing dwelling; and
  • it is required for a relative or domestic employee of the occupier of the main dwelling; and
  • the proposal would not adversely affect the character or amenities of nearby properties or the locality in general and the proposal would be in accordance with policy EP3 (Use, Design and Layout of Development); and
  • the proposal conforms with the guidelines set out in Appendix 8; and
  • it would comply with all the other policies in this Plan. Particular attention is drawn to policies H11 (Alterations and Extensions to Dwellings), GB10 (Extensions to Dwellings in the Green Belt) and TR7 (Parking Provision).
