PLANS to change a house into a home for children in care have been approved.

Lichfield District Council gave the green light to the scheme at Chapel House on Main Road in Haunton.

The five-bedroom property has been earmarked for the new use by Bayleaf Care and will cate for four children aged between five and 17.

A planning statement said:

> “The proposal would deliver housing for disadvantaged children which is a type of housing which is in constant demand.  
>  
> “It will provide a safe and stable base for kids rather than forcing them into an institutionalised facility.  
>  
> “The home will be covered by extensive regulations and will be registered and inspected by OFSTED.”

The approval comes after a previous scheme and subsequent appeal was dismissed over issues around plans to change the parking layout.

A report from the council said the latest application had removed all elements relating to the car park.
