R15 Use of Residential Accommodation for Medical/Health Care Facilities

Change of use from residential accommodation for medical/health care facilities will only be acceptable where:

  1. There is a proven need for the facility in the locality and no suitable alternative premises are available;
  2. The development is in sympathy with the character and style of the existing street scene, and does not harm the amenity of neighbouring occupiers;
  3. The council’s adopted car parking standards can be met and where appropriate leave a reasonable garden area;
  4. Any on-street parking that may be generated can be accommodated without detriment to pedestrian safety and/or the free flow of traffic; and
  5. A residential unit is maintained within the building, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the local planning authority that it is impracticable.

Where such premises are no longer needed the local planning authority is unlikely to permit uses other than residential.
