Request

Please can I request how many C3 dwellings have been allowed to be change to a C2 dwelling and become a Residential Care home for children in the past 3 years?

• how many have been passed?
• how many rejected?

Do Rushcliffe have a quota they have to fill in regards to private Children's Residential Homes?

Can I request of copy of the Management and Travel Plan for 14 Barry Close, Radcliffe on Trent NG12 1DY.

Also an explanation as to why a planning reported would have redacted information when presented to the panel?

Response

The number of applications that have been submitted to Rushcliffe Borough Council for a change of use from use class C3 to C2 is available to view by searching on our Planning Online Function, using the advanced search feature and entering the information (for ex. C2) into the ‘description keyword’ field. The date range also enables the option to limit the timeframe to the past 3 years as per your request. This will provide you with a list of applications where you can click through to the detail of each to understand how many were permitted or refused.

Applications for Children's Residential Homes are assessed against Relevant National and Local Planning Policies, Guidance as well as other legislation. Each application is considered on their own merits.

The Management and Travel Plan for the application in relation to 14 Barry Close, Radcliffe on Trent is available to view on Planning Online  by viewing the documents associated with planning application reference 24/00476/FUL.

I am unsure as to which information you are referring to in terms of redacted information but can look into this specifically if you have further details. However we may redact personal details as part of planning applications in accordance with the Data Protection Act – for example when members of the public submit comments on a planning application we will redact information such as email address, telephone number and signature.
