Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the change of use from C3 dwellinghouse to C2 children's care home constitutes a material change of use for planning purposes

What decided it

The use of the house as a children's care home for three children would not generate a material change in the level of activity, trip generation and comings and goings compared to its previous use as a large family home, particularly given the children's ages and the role of carers being analogous to parents.
