CF4 - USE OF BUILDINGS FOR CHILD MINDING

Planning permission will be granted for the use of existing buildings for child minding and related activities provided:

  • the property can accommodate satisfactorily the number of children proposed without undue detriment to the amenities of neighbouring properties;
  • the property is suitably located and the scale of use proposed is compatible with the surrounding area;
  • the highway access, parking, turning and any increased traffic movements can be accommodated satisfactorily;
  • in the case of a residential property, the residential characteristics are retained and the floorspace occupied by the child care activities are a subsidiary element retaining the residential dominance of the property;
  • the proposal would not result in an undue concentration of similar uses in a particular locality.
