Wyre council has prepared a Guidance for Applicants on Children’s Homes to support applicants seeking planning permission for the development of, or change of use of an existing building to a children’s home. The guidance document sets out the information applicants should consider, including the requirement for a management plan and matters to be considered in its preparation.
The guidance document underwent public consultation between May and June 2023. The consultation comments received have been considered as part of finalising the Children's Homes - Guidance for Applicants.
The Children's Homes - Guidance for Applicants was adopted by the council in October 2023.
