Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would maintain a balanced and sustainable residential population
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance and the character of the area

What decided it

The proposal would meet an identified need for looked-after children's residential care placements whilst maintaining residential use and not causing harm to neighbouring living conditions or character, and therefore complies with the development plan.
