Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use would be acceptable, with regard to the supply of family housing and local need
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The loss of family housing for which there is a demonstrated local need, combined with the failure to demonstrate an identified local need for the children's care home and unmitigated harm to neighbouring living conditions through noise and disturbance, outweighed the benefits of providing specialist accommodation.
