Why these rules

Care home developers look for about 1 to 3 acres with a road frontage for 60 to 80 beds (Charterpoint Senior Living asks for 0.8 to 1.5 acres); a care home is use class C2, needs planning permission and registration with the Care Quality Commission; care homes are more vulnerable to flooding, so flood zone 3 needs the exception test and zone 2 the sequential test (NPPF, August 2026, Annex F); homes for older people go where everyday services are easy to reach on foot or by mobility scooter (HO9).

Woodland is left out.
