- Oct 2024Change Of UseFullPending
Change of use from a single residential unit (currently use class c3 dwellinghouse) to also allow for use as care/ supported living accommodation (use class c2 - for under 18s) - with no physical or external alterations. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THIS DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THE WRITTEN AUTHORISATION OF THE AGENT - AS THIS IS WHAT WE REQUIRE IN ORDER TO ACCORD WITH OFSTED REQUIREMENTS NB: It is intended to have up to 2 people (2 children) in care and/or supported living, under Use Class C2 ?Care? for Use Class C2 is defined as ?personal care for people in need of such care by reason of old age, disablement, past or present dependence on alcohol or drugs or past or present mental disorder, and Use Class C2 also includes the personal care of children and medical care and treatment?. This is within Article 2 of the Use Class Order 1987. The care will be full-time members of staff working on shifts throughout the day, one on site at all times and likely no more than three ever at one time. This is thought to generate only the most modest amount of activity and no more than already occurs at the site and thus could be considered to not even be a 'material' change of use; even if within different use classes. The third bedroom will be used by overnight staff members and as a staff office.
