| 1. | The application does not provide adequate detail regarding the proposed operational arrangements, including the number of residents, the nature and level of care provided, staffing levels, and visitor movements. As a result, the local planning authority is unable to assess whether the proposal would result in a material change to the character of the use of the dwelling, or whether it would differ materially from the occupation of the property as a single dwellinghouse. In addition, the application has failed to provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the proposed occupants would live together as a single household within the meaning of Use Class C3(b). In the absence of clear and robust evidence regarding how the residents would live, interact, and function as a cohesive household unit, the local planning authority is unable to conclude that the proposed use falls within Use Class C3(b). |
| 2. | Insufficient information has been submitted to demonstrate that adequate parking and transport arrangements would be provided to support the proposed use. In particular, the likely level of parking demand generated by carers, professionals, and visitors has not been assessed, and no details of cycle parking have been provided. Consequently, the proposal has not been demonstrated to provide safe and adequate parking or sustainable transport provision to comply with Policy 24 of the Local Plan 2021. |
| 3. | Refusal informative
A refusal to issue a LDC is therefore not necessarily conclusive that something is not lawful: it may merely mean that, so far, insufficient evidence has been presented to satisfy the LPA that the use, operation or activity is lawful. |
