Subject: RE: Contact – Webform submission from: Complex needs pre-application advice form

Dear X,

When someone applies to Ofsted for registration, they must demonstrate their premises are suitable to use as a children’s home, and they must resolve any issues to ensure they are able to operate their service as planned. This means they need to have the appropriate planning permission. In addition, if a property has a restrictive covenant on, they will have to be able to demonstrate to us that the covenant does not prevent them from operating their service as they plan to.

I hope this information was helpful.

For any further queries which are not specifically relating to pre application advice for accommodating children with the most complex needs, please contact EYRegulatoryandSocialCare@ofsted.gov.uk

Council Outsourced Private Homes making £42,000 obscene profit per child per annum are now claiming they are not Business. Up to 8 employees are onsite at one time jostling for parking at shift change.  

The outsourcing of vulnerable children at huge cost is seen in Council Tax Bills.

For the avoidance of doubt at OFSTED - Authority Planning has no Jurisdiction over Private Property Restrictions. NONE - so why do Ofsted rely on Certificate of Lawful Use and collapse all Public Trust in doing so?

The same Ofsted Stonewalling and whitewash in Policy is seen at the Local Authority Planning Team and LGO- They work together in a tag team process to engineer dismissal and undermining of notified and proven Covenant restrictions (no business use).
