A Liverpool community has clashed over the proposed use of a residential property as a children’s home.
A plan has been lodged with the city council’s planning department for the conversion of a house on Hollins Close, Wavertree, into a home for two looked after children. According to an application form, submitted to the local authority by applicant Omega Care Group, the new home would provide care for children in need up to the age of 17.
No physical changes are proposed at the location, with support staff to work on site with the availability of sleeping arrangements for those working overnight. The plans from Omega Care said they had been formulated to address the “significant shortages of residential children's homes in the area” and provide a resource for Liverpool.
