Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would provide adequate parking provision
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regards noise and disturbance
  • The effect on the provision of family housing in the area
  • Whether the location of the development would be acceptable in planning policy terms

What decided it

The absence of adequate parking provision combined with unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions outweighs the identified need for medical services in the residential area.
