Summary
The applicant seeks confirmation that this detached house could be used as a home for up to two children. Two support workers would provide care as one household, similar in size to a family of four. No building work is described. The nearest homes are directly adjacent, with five properties to the east, south and south-west. Twenty property fronts within a couple of minutes' walk have a clear view towards the site, while 56 are screened by buildings. Two bus stops called Shelter are directly adjacent. The council will assess whether the proposed household fits the legal meaning of a normal home.
