Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed use as a Children's Home under Use Class C2 would not constitute a material change of use in the building, from an existing use falling within Use Class C3 of Use Classes Order 1987 (as amended). The proposal will therefore require planning permission. First Schedule: Change of use from dwelling house (Use Class C3(a) to residential children's home for two children aged between 6 to 17 years old (Use Class C2).

From the council's decision notice.
