Lighthouse Care NW Ltd has submitted an application for a Lawful Development Certificate to change a dwelling on Tarn Road, Thornton, into a children's care home for one young person and two carers. Despite four objections from local residents, the applicants argue the change of use would not be a material change and therefore not require planning permission.
Proposals to set up a children’s home in Thornton have been submitted to planners at Wyre . However, actual planning permission may not be needed for the scheme.
The plans are in respect of an address on Tarn Road, Thornton. Lawful Development Certificates confirm that the use, operation or activity named in it for the property is lawful for planning control purposes. A planning statement from Abbott-Hull Associates, on behalf of the applicants, said: “The level of activity, associated with the proposed use, would be comparable with what would be reasonably expected to be generated by a single dwelling house occupied by a family.
