Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the property would be suitable for the proposed development, with particular regard to its accessibility to public transport and local amenities, and the effect on the provision of family housing
- the effect of the development on parking provision, sustainable travel, and highway safety
- whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for cycle parking
What decided it
The site's poor accessibility to public transport and local amenities, combined with the loss of a family-sized dwelling that Brent clearly needs, outweighed the demonstrated need for children's care accommodation and could not be justified as meeting exceptional circumstances.
