Planning regulations allow for up to 6 people to share a house where an element of care is provided without requiring planning permission.
When the number of residents exceeds 6, planning permission becomes necessary. In such cases, applications can be submitted as a Certificate of Lawfulness rather than a full planning application.
Many local councils approach these applications with caution. Therefore, the presentation of your application and supporting documentation is crucial to its success. Key factors include:
- Clear explanation of the proposed use
- Detailed care plans
- Evidence of compliance with relevant regulations
- Demonstration of minimal impact on the local area
