Authority: Stafford Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Billings C

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions and wellbeing of neighbouring residential occupiers, in particular regard to anti-social behaviour
the integrity of the Cannock Chase Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The evidence demonstrated that non-planning regimes and management practices had been effective in reducing anti-social behaviour from the existing adjacent development, and the proposed small bungalows outside the gated area would not materially increase the risk of harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions.

The benefits of providing specialist housing for adults with care and support needs in a sustainable location, with appropriate mitigation for the Cannock Chase SAC, outweighed the concerns about potential anti-social behaviour, which were not substantiated by evidence.
