Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to its scale and appearance
What decided it
The overbearing impact of the extra care building on the living conditions of neighbouring residents in Wembley Gardens, which could not be adequately mitigated by the proposed landscaping, outweighed the social and economic benefits of the development.
The significant permanent harm to neighbouring residents' amenity from the overbearing development outweighed the social benefits of specialist housing delivery, modest economic benefits, and public access benefits
