Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is a need for the proposed care home and its effect on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Whether there is a need for the proposed care home and its effect on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the proposed hard surfacing and its relationship with an existing tree
What decided it
The demonstrable need for care home provision in Hillingdon, combined with the ability to control the use through conditions to prevent harm to neighbouring amenity and the character of the area, justified allowing the appeal.
