Planning officers, though, have recommended the application for approval.
Their report said: “The proposed design, layout and scale of the development is considered acceptable and it would not cause harm to the character and appearance of the area.”
As well as 68 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, the care home would include communal lounges, quiet spaces, dining areas, assisted bathrooms, a hair salon and café.
