Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the heritage significance of the existing building, the design of the replacement building, and the effect on trees
- highway safety
- protected species
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on character and appearance through loss of a heritage asset, inadequate highway safety provision, and unresolved protected species impacts could not be outweighed by the benefits of providing a children's residential home, particularly where refurbishment of the existing building had not been adequately demonstrated as impractical.
