Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance through overdevelopment of the soft landscaped area and substantial harm to neighbouring residential amenity through loss of outlook and privacy could not be outweighed by the benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of efficient land use in a sustainable location and provision of extra care facilities with employment generation did not outweigh the substantial harm to character and appearance and substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions.
