Proposal
The existing lawful use of the property is as a residential dwellinghouse within Use Class C3. The property has historically been occupied and used as a conventional family dwelling and there is no evidence to suggest that this residential use is unlawful. No operational development is proposed as part of this application. The application seeks a Certificate of Lawfulness for the proposed use of the property as a children's home, on the basis that the proposed occupation and manner of operation would not constitute a material change of use from the existing lawful residential use.
