Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character of the area
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to noise and activity
What decided it
The modest scale of the mother and baby unit (3 residents maximum, 12-16 week stays) would generate activity and noise levels comparable to ordinary residential use, and with appropriate conditions including sound insulation, would not cause material harm to character, highway safety, or neighbours' living conditions.
