Why it was refused

  1. The proposed use of the property as a residential care home for three children has not been demonstrated to fall within Use Class C3(b) of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended). The submitted information indicates that the children would require care, support and supervision provided by non-resident staff operating on a rota basis, including overnight supervision. In the absence of a resident care-giver forming part of the household, the proposed occupants would not live together as a single household for the purposes of Class C3(b). The proposed use has therefore not been shown to be lawful under Section 192 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), and a Lawful Development Certificate cannot be granted.

From the council's decision notice.
