Good afternoon, 
I am writing to appeal the refusal of planning permission for the proposed short-term let use of
the existing garden cabin. The application was rejected on the basis of "an unacceptable impact
on local amenity, primarily that of the main dwellinghouse, due to the use of a residential
curtilage for the purposes of a commercial nature." 
The main dwellinghouse is a two-bedroom property currently occupied by myself, a single
resident. The proposed use would involve occasional occupation of the cabin by a maximum of
two guests and would not materially affect the enjoyment, function or residential amenity of the
dwellinghouse. The overall level of activity on the site would remain significantly below that which
could ordinarily occur within a two-bedroom family home. 
I appreciate the time taken to consider the application, however I respectfully disagree with the
decision and believe the proposal would not have an unacceptable impact on the property,
neighbouring properties, or the character of the area. 
I would like to highlight the following points: 
- The council has confirmed that the cabin itself is lawful.
- No concerns were raised about the size, design, appearance, or location of the cabin.
- The proposal only relates to the use of the existing cabin.
- No new buildings or extensions are proposed.
- The proposal makes use of an existing structure, which is a sustainable use of the site and
supports local tourism. 
The proposed use would be very small in scale: 
- A maximum of 2 guests would stay in the cabin at any one time.
- Stays would be short-term only and likely infrequent.
- The cabin would remain part of the existing property and would not operate independently from
the main house.
- The cabin and house would remain under the ownership and management of a single owner.

It is also important to reiterate that the main house is a two-bedroom property which is currently
occupied by just one person. The overall level of occupation across the site would therefore
remain low and well within what would normally be expected for a property of this size. 
I respectfully disagree with the conclusion that the use of the shower and WC facilities within the
main house would create an unacceptable planning impact. In my view, the shared use of these
facilities strengthens the connection between the cabin and the main house and demonstrates
that the cabin is not operating as a separate unit. 
The proposal would not result in unacceptable impacts relating to: 
- Noise
- Privacy
- Disturbance
- Traffic
- Parking
- Residential amenity 
To ensure the use remains low impact, the following measures would be in place: 
- Maximum occupancy of 2 guests
- No parties or events
- Quiet hours between 10pm and 8am
- Off-street parking provided within the property
- Fully managed by myself, the owner, only
- Clear house rules provided to all guests
- No amplified outdoor music
- No external commercial activity within the garden
- Existing access arrangements retained 
The residential appearance and character of the site would remain unchanged, and I believe the
proposal represents a sensible and proportionate use of an existing lawful structure. 
The proposal would actually support an comply with Policy 30, as it provides a small contribution
to local tourism accommodation while remaining compatible with the surrounding residential
environment. 
For these reasons, I respectfully request that the decision be reconsidered and that planning
permission be granted. 
Kind regards, 
Jamie Pargeter
