The proposal aims to change a property on Bramford Road from a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) to a home for two children needing specialist support.
The house will continue to function as a residential property, with no external changes planned.
The proposed change will involve the property being managed by an Ofsted-registered provider, offering therapeutic support, safeguarding, and structured routines.
The house, which currently caters to up to six unrelated adult occupants, will reduce its occupancy to two children, providing a "calmer and more manageable living environment."

The design approach ensures the property retains its residential character, with no external signage, commercial frontage, or institutional appearance.
The planning application highlights the social benefits of the proposal, stating it provides "specialist accommodation for vulnerable children, supports local authority placement responsibilities, and enables children to remain closer to existing communities."
The application concludes that the change of use represents a "sensitive and appropriate use of the property" and should be supported.
