What was the name of that one on Panorama that was closed down?
Watching that program was the first thing that came to mind when I read this thread and seeing it makes me wonder about these so called hospitals.

I would not be worried about it being near a school as the school should have its own procedures and policies in place to keep the children safe. I suppose it depends who will be living in there but the description from the planning application sounds ok.
