Planners Confirm House in Abergavenny Can Be Used as Care Home

PLANNERS have confirmed a house in Abergavenny can be used as a care home for up to four children. 
Cwtch Investments Ltd asked Monmouthshire County Council to issue a certificate stating the use of the house in Hereford Road is lawful. 
It will be used for up to six people and will be a home for four children aged 13 to 19 and will be staffed. 
The council planning department confirmed residential planning permission has a sub-class for up to six people living together in supported housing schemes and that changes within the planning class don’t require planning permission so the certificate can be issued. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
