Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the developments have sufficient on-site car parking space and the effect of any on-street car parking, manoeuvring or movement on Rectory Lane in respect of highway and pedestrian safety
  • The effect of the developments on the living conditions of the occupiers of surrounding residential properties in respect of noise and disturbance

What decided it

The deficiency in on-site car parking provision and the resulting likelihood of unsafe manoeuvring and reversing activity in Rectory Lane, combined with unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring residents from the intensive 24-hour operation, caused harm that outweighed the benefits of providing needed accommodation for vulnerable adults.
