Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The suitability of the proposed access and the effect on highway safety
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with respect to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would result in significant harm to character and appearance and create unacceptable highway safety impacts that could not be mitigated, and these harms outweighed the benefits of care facility expansion.

The benefits of new care facilities and economic benefits merited considerable and moderate weight respectively, but taken cumulatively were insufficient to outweigh the significant conflicts with the development plan regarding character and appearance and highway safety
