Change of use from a residential dwelling house (C3) into a Residential Children's Home (C2)

The Development Manager advised members that the key policy considerations for this application were those outlined previously, relating to LPD 39.

He went on to introduce the report.

He concluded that the recommendation in the report was to refuse the application, but was subject to the amended wording for the reason for refusal.

The Director of Development added for clarity, that the recommendation had been updated in accordance with the decision that was made on items 5 and 6 on the agenda as follows:

1. The proposed change of use, if approved, would lead to an over-concentration of similar C2 uses within one cul-de-sac. This is likely to result in a significant adverse impact on the character of the area. The proposed change of use would therefore be contrary to Policy 39 of the Local Planning Document (2018).

RESOLVED:

To REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION for the following reason:

1.     The proposed change of use, if approved, would lead to an over-concentration of similar C2 uses within one cul-de-sac. This is likely to result in a significant adverse impact on the character of the area. The proposed change of use would therefore be contrary to Policy 39 of the Local Planning Document (2018).
