In particular, the proposed children’s home use is in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and its policies regarding the provision of community development, achieving healthy, inclusive and safe places, providing social facilities and services for the community, sustainable development, the efficient use of land, and transport and accessibility, whilst proposing a development that would not be out of character within the surrounding area, and would not be detrimental to the local and residential amenities of the area. Issues of principle regarding the use of this site and the generation of traffic have been considered fully and are not considered, on balance, to give rise to any inappropriate or undue affects. Accordingly, the Local Planning Authority considers that there are no material planning considerations that would override the general assumption that development be approved unless other material factors determine otherwise.
