PLANNING permission is being sought to create a new children’s home.
An application was submitted to the council for a property on Folly Way in Monk Bretton to be used as a children’s home for four kids.
A report states: “The change to a children’s home will involve less coming and going of people from the property and staff being on longer shifts.
“The proposed use involves the occupation of the property by up to four children (under 18 years old) who will live together as a single household.
“The children will receive 24-hour care from professional carers working on a rota basis, with longer term staff, generally two carers will be present at any given time with shifts starting at 9am and sleeping overnight until 9am, following normal patterns of adults going to and from work in the area.
“The carers do not reside permanently at the property but work in shifts to provide necessary support and supervision.”
Public consultation ends on March 4.
