CLT17 Care in the Community

The Council will grant planning permission for the establishment or extension of residential homes falling within the relevant use class in existing residential areas, either by the development of vacant sites or by conversion of existing properties provided that:

  • The scale of the proposal will not be detrimental to the established character of the surrounding residential area, nor the amenity of adjoining occupiers;
  • The proposal includes acceptable access and car parking provision, including visitors’ parking;
  • The proposal is located so that it is accessible to essential facilities; and
  • The proposal does not result in a concentration of such facilities resulting in an overload of local facilities or a change in character of the residential area in which it is located.
