Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to relevant local and national policies relating to the countryside and accessibility
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of Ladymead, with specific regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance of the countryside area, combined with inadequate accessibility and unmitigated noise impacts on neighbouring residents, outweighed the moderate benefit of providing care home accommodation.
Plan policies cited: DP6, DP12, DP21, DP25, DP26, DP30, SA39, CDNP05, CDNP10
