Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • highway safety with particular regard to the provision of off-street car parking and the potential for restricting vehicle and pedestrian movements

What decided it

The level of activity and vehicle movements associated with a small-scale children's care home for three children would be comparable to that of a family home, and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbours' living conditions or highway safety.
