Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of Cannock Road
- whether the proposed layout and mix of uses would be suitable for its location within Burntwood town centre, with particular regard to its effect on the future development of land in the town centre
- whether or not it has been demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on healthcare infrastructure, with particular regard to the primary care network
What decided it
The considerable and enduring harm to the character and appearance of Cannock Road caused by the bulky and poorly articulated front elevation, combined with the failure to adequately demonstrate that the healthcare contribution would mitigate increased pressure on the primary care network, outweighed the benefits of the proposal.
