The current tenant of the property-Nurtured Future Living Ltd provides care and accommodation to children that have typically been removed from their family home and are under care orders and the responsibility for care has been passed to a relevant local authority. Whilst "unregulated" homes are sometimes acceptable as a short term emergency solution, the preference is to place such children in homes that are "Regulated" by OFSTED and can then provide a viable long term,stable care solution/environment for such a child thus avoiding the need to move the child (again) and the uncertainty and anxiety this can induce. The purpose of the application is to ascertain that Class C3 (B) is a lawful use of the property.
