Planning application
Bonnie Barn Clawdd Y Parc Farm Parc Road Llangybi Monmouthshire NP15 1NY
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The proposal involves the change of use of the existing residential dwelling (Use Class C3) to a small supported living childrens home where care is provided (Use Class C3(b)). The property will continue to operate as a domestic dwelling accommodating a maximum of two children living together as a single household in a family-style environment. The scale of the use is intentionally small to ensure the property maintains the character and function of a typical residential home. Care and supervision will be provided by trained support staff on a 2:1 staffing basis. Typically, two staff members will be present during daytime and evening hours. Overnight arrangements will consist of one waking night staff member and one sleep-in staff member. The use does not involve any industrial or commercial processes and no machinery or specialist equipment will be installed. Activities within the home will be consistent with those expected in a normal family household, such as cooking, studying, recreation and day-to-day living. Children residing at the property will attend school and participate in community activities in the same way as other children living within the area. Staff operate on a shift rota basis, meaning staff will generally remain on site during their shift. The level of activity associated with the property will therefore remain comparable to that of a typical residential dwelling. No external alterations to the building are proposed as part of this application.
