Proposal

Conversion of existing detached domestic garage to ancillary family accommodation comprising one bedroom and shower/WC, for occupation by a dependent disabled family member as part of the household occupying the main dwellinghouse. The accommodation will remain ancillary to the main dwellinghouse and will not constitute or be used as a separate independent dwelling. The existing detached garage is to be converted to provide additional ancillary accommodation associated with the existing dwellinghouse. The accommodation will be occupied by the applicant's father, who will live as part of the applicant's household. The proposed accommodation comprises a bedroom and shower/WC. The building already contains a WC. The accommodation will have no independent residential use and will not be let, sold, leased or otherwise occupied separately from the main dwellinghouse. It will remain functionally and residentially associated with the principal dwelling and within the same residential planning unit. Data via plota.co.uk
