Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
highway safety, with particular regard to increased vehicular movements and risk of highway obstructions

What decided it

The proposed increase to 21 children would cause substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance and would create unacceptable highway safety risks, with no material considerations outweighing the conflict with the development plan.

Framework references: 130, 185, 111

Plan policies cited: Policy 10, Policy 46, Policy 13

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
