Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with regard to living accommodation
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with reference to potential noise and general disturbance
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for vehicle parking
What decided it
The imposition of a condition limiting the care home to a maximum of 2 children resolved the only substantive concern regarding living conditions for future occupiers, allowing the appeal to proceed.
