BUILDINGS in Lichfield could make way for residential care units for children.

Matilda Homes Ltd has earmarked the site at 5 Stafford Road for the development.

If approved it would see the current structures on the site – which have been used for commercial purposes – make way for the facility.

A planning statement said the children’s home would provide 24-7 residential care for “highly vulnerable” youngsters.

It added:

> “This proposal would create a nurturing, supportive and safe environment where every young person can thrive, grow and achieve their full potential.  
>  
> “The care home will be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each unit would accommodate a child, providing a total capacity of two children with on-site care.”
