Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for young people in care having regard to the character of the local area
What decided it
The significant police call-out history at the property when care was previously provided, combined with the lack of evidence from the appellant on how to mitigate adverse impacts, meant the Inspector was not convinced the proposed C2 use would not generate adverse noise and disturbance that would detrimentally change the character of the local area.
