Why it was refused
- The proposed change of use of the residential dwelling including a part two storey part first floor extension, to a children’s home for up to three children, with two day carers, two night carers, one being a sleeping in staff, one manager and/or one deputy manager would be likely to adversely affect the residential amenities of the occupants of adjoining and nearby dwellinghouses by virtue of the level of noise and disturbance given the nature of the use including users/visitors and due to the number of vehicle movements to the site in association with the proposed development. The proposal is therefore considered to be contrary to Policies SP1, SP24, DP1 and DP7 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan, Winshill Neighbourhood Plan Policy 8, and the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The proposed change of use of the residential dwelling to a childrens home would not provide adequate parking to serve the level of staff proposed, with one parking space to the front that would overhang the access to the site. Furthermore, the agent has failed to demonstrate that the two parking spaces to the front are useable. The proposal would therefore have an adverse impact on Highway safety, contrary to Policies SP1, and SP35 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan, Winshill Neighbourhood Plan Policy 11, the Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document and the National Planning Policy Framework. This application is refused by the under signed under powers delegated by the Borough Council in accordance with the provisions of Section 101 of the Local Government Act 1972.
From the council's decision notice.
