Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the change of use from a residential dwelling (Class C3) to a children's care home would constitute a material change of use requiring planning permission

What decided it

The proposed use of the property for 2 children with non-resident shift-pattern care workers would not result in a material change of use from its lawful residential use, as the external appearance, character and level of activity would be consistent with normal residential occupation of a large family home.
