Site boundary (council red line)

Proposal

Certificate of lawfulness (existing) for current use as a residential care home (most commonly, Class C2). A CLEUD is sought on the basis that the current use is lawful because either it falls within the exiting use Class C2 or falls within any of the alternative recognised use classes for Independent Approved Premises including sui generis but the sui generis use is not materially different to the Class C2 use and is therefore lawful without further planning permission.
