PLANS to turn a Dodworth property into a children’s home for two kids have been approved by the council.
An application for work to take place on Stainborough Road was originally submitted in July.
These plans were given the green light by Barnsley Council’s planning board last week.
A report has confirmed that the two children will be of no risk to the community and instead the home will benefit the youngsters moving forward.
It said: “The care leavers or looked after children will most likely attend college or other training opportunities available to them locality.
“Risk assessments are conducted for each young person accommodated by the service, in communication with the local authority and their social worker.
“We are accommodating children who are less risk and have no criminal history.
“They are just standard care leavers and looked after children who are moving on from a children’s home or foster care and are transitioning into adulthood in this property.”
