Change of Use From 4-Bedroom Dwellinghouse (C3 Usage) into a Childrens’ Home (C2 Usage).

The client approached Planning By Design regarding a proposed change of use from a 4-bedroom dwellinghouse (C3 usage) into a residential institution (C2 usage.) The use specifically would be a children’s home for up to 4 children. The children’s home would contain 6 bedrooms. The ground floor of the property will contain a hall, open planned lounge, dining room and kitchen. There will be also 2 bathrooms, a utility room and 1 bedroom. The first floor will contain 5 bedrooms, 2 toilets and a bathroom.

Following a planning appraisal, one of our chartered town planners confirmed this is feasible and would require full planning permission to change the use.

One of our chartered architects produced the required architect drawings which the client approved. Following approval of the architect design one of our chartered town planners has prepared the required Design and Access statement, to justify why the application should be approved. With the client's approval, the architect drawings, Design and Access statement were submitted with an application for full planning permission.

Planning Permission has now been approved for a change of use from dwelling Class (C3) to Class (C2) for the use of the site as a childrens’ residential home.
