Proposal

This proposal seeks planning permission for a material change of use from Use Class C3 (dwelling house) to Use Class C2 (residential institution) to operate as a small children’s residential care home. The property will provide long‑term accommodation for up to two children aged 7–17 years, supported by qualified staff on a 24‑hour rota basis. No demolition or external structural works are proposed, with only minor internal alterations required to meet Ofsted safety and accommodation standards. Existing parking arrangements are adequate, and the home will function in a domestic‑style setting, integrating positively within the local community while maintaining the residential character of the area.
