Planning application
51 Park Lane Thatcham RG18 3GB
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
The existing lawful use of the property is as a residential dwellinghouse within Use Class C3. The property has historically been occupied and used as a conventional family dwelling and there is no evidence to suggest that this residential use is unlawful. No operational development is proposed as part of this application. The application seeks a Certificate of Lawfulness for the proposed use of the property as a children's home, on the basis that the proposed occupation and manner of operation would not constitute a material change of use from the existing lawful residential use.
