House proposed to change to supported living home for three people

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

Someone has applied to change a house on Hope Avenue from a normal family home to a supported living place for three adults who need care. The building would stay the same — no extensions or major works are proposed, just a change in how it is used. The house is a semi-detached home built in the late 1960s or early 1970s, in a quiet residential street. Around ten nearby homes and properties have a direct view of the site. A company called Hope Avenue Community Living Limited — which provides accommodation — is already registered at this address. This type of change can bring people who need support into an ordinary neighbourhood setting. The main question for the council is whether a care home of this kind fits with the character of the surrounding street.
