Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed development would comply with the spatial strategy of the development plan, including in relation to the provision of specialist housing
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would provide demonstrable social benefits through specialist housing for older people, comply with the spatial strategy and landscape policies of the development plan, and therefore the appeal should be allowed.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole with no other considerations outweighing this finding.
