Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal is appropriately located having regard to development plan policies on community facility proposals
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 28 and 26 Upney Lane and 33-37 Ventnor Gardens with particular regard to noise, outlook, overshadowing and privacy
- whether the proposal would lead to undue parking stress in the area
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with development plan policies requiring community facilities to be located in sustainable local centre locations, and would cause significant harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions that cannot be justified by the identified community need.
