PLANS to convert a house into a children’s home in Armitage have been unveiled.
The four-bedroom property at 73 New Road has been earmarked for a change of use in a planning application submitted to Lichfield District Council.
If the proposals go ahead the home would accommodate three children and staff.
A planning statement said:
“The home would provide accommodation for children aged eight to 18.
“The children would be looked after on a long-term basis. In some cases this is a temporary home until the placing local authority finds a foster home, in other cases it would be until they are no longer a child and cared for or if the care plan for the young person changes.
“The children would be in full-time mainstream education, they would not be home-schooled.
“During a standard shift, three staff members would be present on site and the home registered manager. During the night two staff members will be on duty.”
