Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed variation to condition 6 (of permission Ref 77/12) and condition 2 (of permission Ref 81/420) would conflict with the use described on the associated planning permissions
- whether the proposed variation would be acceptable having regard to the location of the appeal site and its accessibility by sustainable transport modes
- whether the proposed variation would be acceptable having regard to its effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to privacy, and noise and disturbance
- whether the proposed variation would be acceptable having regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposed variation would be acceptable having regard to its effect on crime and the fear of crime
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that any potential harm from broadening the permitted care use to include hospital use could be adequately controlled through planning conditions (noise management plan and landscaping), removing the Council's principal objections.
