Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of current and future occupiers of the care home, with regard to the size of the private outdoor garden space
What decided it
The proposed lodge would be an imposing structure that would make the site appear cramped and erode the spacious character of the area, while simultaneously reducing the adequacy of outdoor amenity space for care home occupiers, conflicting with development plan policies on character and living conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy D2, Policy HP8, Policy TIN1
