LDP/24/00138: 70 Charlotte Road, Egremont, Wallasey, Wirral, CH44 0DW Application for a Lawful Development Certificate re: use of a C3 dwelling as a children's home for a maximum of four children, with up to three carers, with sleep overnight, working on a rota basis to C2 class pdf icon PDF 247 KB

Minutes:

The Development Management Manager presented the report of the Director of Regeneration and Place in relation to the above application for consideration.

 

Ward Councillor Jeanette Williamson addressed the committee.

 

The applicants, Micheal Parks and Jake Boness addressed the committee.

 

On a motion by the Chair, seconded by Councillor Colin Baldwin, it was,

 

Resolved – that the application be approved subject to the following conditions.

 

The dwelling would be used as a children's home supervised by non-resident carers. This puts the proposed use within use class C2 rather than the current use which is class C3.  Nevertheless, on the basis of the submitted evidence on the balance of probabilities the use of the building and the character of activity associated with that use would not be significantly different to that which could be expected at a single dwellinghouse of this size. Therefore, a material change of use would not occur by virtue of the proposed use.
