Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the care home would provide substantial public benefits and acceptable living, heritage and highway impacts, with mitigation secured.
- A residents’ organisation and the Kensington Society raised concerns about design, trees, care-bed need, outlook, demolition, retrofit and sustainability.
- The committee voted by majority to delegate permission, with one abstention, subject to legal obligations, revised tree funding and conditions.
