Summary
The applicant seeks confirmation that this house could be used as a home for up to two children. Two support workers would care for them as one household. No building work is described. The detached house dates from the early 1990s. Five nearby properties are directly adjacent, while 20 property fronts have a clear view of the site. Two bus shelters are immediately beside the house. The main question is whether this use would remain like an ordinary family home. Staff arrivals and departures could possibly cause a small change for nearby homes.
What you can do
Comments can be sent to the council using reference 26/00475/CLDP. The council can consider whether the proposed use would legally remain one household, rather than wider planning effects.
