Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the need for the proposal in an out of centre location has been demonstrated
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of existing neighbouring properties
- whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety and/or a severe impact on the surrounding highway network
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate an unmet need for the childcare facility in the local community as required by Policy CO1, and therefore did not accord with the sequential approach and sustainability requirements for out-of-centre community facilities.
Framework references: 7, 111
Plan policies cited: Policy CO1, Policy DE1, Policy AC3, Appendix 5
