Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants
What decided it
The substantial rear massing and overall scale of the building would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, which conflict with the development plan and cannot be outweighed by the benefits of providing specialist care services.
