Why it was refused

  1. Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that the proposed use would operate in a manner materially similar to the existing lawful use under Class C3. As a result, the Local Planning Authority consider that the proposal would result in a material change in the nature of the use and would require planning permission. First Schedule: Use of existing dwelling-house (Use Class C3a) as supported living accommodation (Use Class C3b) for 6 resident adults with disabilities aged between 18 - 25 years old.

From the council's decision notice.
