Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be suitably located and demonstrates a local need
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and landscape
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal dwelling with regards to noise, disturbance and private amenity garden
What decided it
The demonstrable local need for childcare provision in the area, combined with the suitable location and accessibility of the facility to the community it would serve, outweighed concerns about landscape and living conditions which were found to be acceptable.
