No enforcement action has been taken or threatened, and the property has remained structurally unchanged, maintaining its residential character and external appearance consistent with its lawful use. The current proposal seeks solely to change the property's use from Class C3 (Dwellinghouse) to Class C2 (Residential Institution). Importantly, this application involves no physical alterations, structural modifications, extensions, or external building works, thus preserving the integrity and character of the existing building and minimising any potential visual or environmental impact on the surrounding area. The proposed Class C2 usage, typically associated with care homes, children's homes, or supported living facilities, is compatible with residential neighbourhoods. Given the residential nature of the existing property, this proposed change of use represents a natural and appropriate transition, requiring minimal adaptation and aligning closely with local and national planning policy objectives for community care and social infrastructure. Therefore, the existing building is considered lawful based on continuous and compliant residential occupation under Class C3, and the proposed use as Class C2 is appropriate and justified within the existing lawful context, thereby aligning fully with planning policy guidance and statutory regulations. Statement of Purpose Plans permanent A Lawful Development Certificate should be granted for this proposal on the strongest planning grounds, as the existing and proposed use both fall within lawful residential and community-based classifications, and the transition from Use Class C3 (Dwellinghouse) to Use Class C2 (Residential Institution) is both appropriate and fully compliant with planning law and policy. The property has been lawfully used as a single residential dwelling under Use Class C3, with no history of enforcement action, breaches of planning control, or unlawful development. This confirms the lawful status of the existing use. The proposed change to Use Class C2 does not involve any operational development—there are no structural alterations, no extensions, and no material external changes to the fabric, footprint, or appearance of the building. As such, the character of the building and its impact on the surrounding area remains unchanged. The proposed use under Class C2 is for a residential institution providing care or support, which is consistent with the nature of existing residential environments and aligns with local and national policies promoting inclusive communities, safeguarding vulnerable individuals, and meeting identified social care needs. Planning frameworks such as the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) support such developments, especially when they make efficient use of existing buildings, promote social cohesion, and integrate essential services within communities. In addition, the proposal does not give rise to any material harm in terms of amenity, highways, or overdevelopment. The scale of occupation remains comparable to a typical family dwelling, and care provision within a residential setting such as this is not considered an intensification of use that would warrant refusal. Therefore, in view of the lawful existing use, the absence of any operational development, the compliance with established planning policy, and the appropriateness of the proposed use in both function and scale, the granting of a Lawful Development Certificate is fully justified. The proposal is lawful, reasonable, policy-compliant, and in the public interest, and as such, there is no legal or planning basis to withhold the certificate. 0 1 0 SAP Care Limited is both the owner and occupier of the premises.
