Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would meet the housing needs of the area
- The effect of the proposed use as a home for children in care on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The small scale of the proposed development and demonstrated need for children's care accommodation in the area, combined with the absence of material harm to neighbouring living conditions, justified allowing the appeal in accordance with the development plan.
