Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including trees and hedgerow
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to outlook
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants of the care home with particular regard to outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
What decided it
The proposed development would result in harmful effects on character and appearance, would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to poor outlook, and would harm biodiversity without adequate mitigation.
