Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is a need for the proposed type of accommodation
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 112 College Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The identified need for supported accommodation for adults with learning disabilities, evidenced in the Council's own commissioned study and London Plan policy requirements, combined with the absence of demonstrable harmful effects on neighbouring living conditions given the property's physical characteristics and proposed management conditions, justified allowing the appeal.
