Petition Action

Stop Ltd companies using private houses as care homes without a change of use

Petition Details

Large multi-million pound national Limited Companies are applying for a Certificate of Lawful Proposed Use or Development in order to convert private dwelling houses in residential areas into care homes without the need for a planning application for change of use. Applications are not advertised.

Additional Information

Councils are consistently concluding that a change of use does occur. Some are rejecting the applications and some are issuing certificates on the basis that the change does not constitute a material change in use in planning terms.
Application DA/2015/0762 in Daventry District Council and SL/2016/0608 South Lakeland District Council were both submitted by the same company with a multi-million £ turnover citing the same evidence. One was rejected and the other permitted.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a petition calling for a specific change to planning law.
