Summary
The owner is asking for permission to use a detached house at 7 Baron Close as short-stay serviced accommodation. This is a retrospective application, which means the change may already have happened. The accommodation would be available to multiple guests at a time, which is different from a normal family home. The house is on a residential street in Stratton St Margaret. Grange Infants School is about a 1-minute walk away. A nursing home called Church View is a few minutes' walk to the south. Because guests would be coming and going regularly, neighbours may notice more activity than they would from a typical home. The council will decide whether this type of use is right for this location.
