Proposals have been drawn up for a new children’s play centre in Burntwood.

The development is earmarked for a unit at Burntwood Business Park on Milestone Way.

Sunshine Play Town has applied for planning permission for the change of use to the empty industrial facility.

A statement supporting the application said:

> “The mini play town is a role play experience for children up to eight years old.  
>  
> “The role play will consist of unique built features such as mini supermarket, hairdressers, vet surgery, fire and police station, and a make-believe outdoor area.  
>  
> “Our clients would like to have a café area with seating for parents to utilise while their children are playing and being supervised.”  
>  
> Planning statement

The 90-minute play sessions would be open to a maximum of 16 children, with the business employing one full time member of staff alongside four part-time workers.

> “This development will provide employment opportunities for local residents and will provide a safe environment for families to meet with friends, make friends and social with their children.  
>  
> “The proposal will provide children an opportunity to experience ‘real life ‘activities and experiences. This is a great learning facility whilst also being fun and safe.”  
>  
> Planning statement
