Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- whether the site is a suitable location for children in care having regard to the risk and the fear of crime and disorder in the area
- if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the benefits of the development to the child/children residing in the care home
What decided it
The undemonstrated ability to mitigate unacceptable harmful effects on neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, which conflicts with Framework paragraphs 135 and 198 requiring development to achieve high standards of amenity and mitigate noise impacts.
Framework references: 96, 135, 198
