00:00A plan to turn a four-bedroom family home in Solihull into a children's care home
00:05has been submitted to the council. The Wells Green Road property would accommodate up to
00:11three children aged between 5 and 17, with care provided on a medium-to-long-term basis.
00:17Planning agents say the home would retain its domestic appearance and argue activity
00:23and vehicle movements would not differ materially from a large family household.
00:27They also point to a national shortage of children's home placements.
00:32The application was submitted on the 15th of October.
00:35A public consultation is underway, with comments invited until the 20th of November,
00:41before Solihull Council decides on the proposal.
