Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would meet the housing needs of the area
- Whether the proposal would be suitably located to accommodate children in care with particular regard to highway safety, parking, noise, disturbance and the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour
What decided it
The Children's Services Sufficiency Strategy provided evidence of identified need for children's homes, and the property's location and characteristics were suitable for the proposed use without unacceptable harm to neighbours or the area.
