Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
whether there is a proven need for the proposal

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the proposal caused no harm to character and appearance and that a proven need for the care home had been demonstrated under Policy SC4, so the scheme accorded with the development plan as a whole.

the minor conflict with Policy NE6 regarding tree retention was outweighed by the proposal's compliance with other development plan policies and its agreed benefits, such that the proposal complied with the development plan taken as a whole

Plan policies cited: Policy H12, Policy NE6, Policy SC4, Policy SP2, Policy SE1, Policy SD2, Policy DC41
