Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of nearby occupiers and highway safety of users of the surrounding road network with regard to on street parking

What decided it

The level of occupation and activity associated with a Children's Care Home for 2 children would be similar to that of a family dwelling, and with the management plan measures and parking condition in place, the proposal would not unacceptably harm living conditions or highway safety.

Plan policies cited: Policy Env7 of the Hyndburn Core Strategy 2012, Policy DM29 of the Development Management Development Plan Document 2018, Policy DM32 of the Development Management Development Plan Document 2018
