PLANS to convert a house in Fradley into a children’s home have been withdrawn.
The proposals had been drawn up for a property on Alexander Close.
It would have seen the plot converted for children aged between eight and 18, as well as two staff.
But objections had been raised by Fradley Parish Council over the suitability of the location for such a development.
The council said:
“Alexander Close is a quiet, community-spirited residential area and the proposed use is out of character with the existing environment.
“The introduction of a children’s home would fundamentally alter the nature of the occupancy leading to an adverse impact on the residential amenity of the area.
“There is also the potential for anti-social behaviour which could disrupt the wellbeing of local residents.”
Cllr Derick Cross had requested a call in of the application so it could be debated by the planning committee – but Lichfield District Council’s planning portal now confirms the plans have been withdrawn.
