PLANS for a new children's home in a Huddersfield village have been given the green light despite more than 30 objections from neighbours.

- By ABIGAIL MARLOW

The plans, which were determined by Kirklees Council's District-wide Planning Committee on Thursday, October 9, relate to a six-bedroomed property at Far View Crescent in Almondbury. Lighthouse Care Residential's application sought planning permission to change the use of the property from a dwelling to a children’s home.

The home will cater for up to three children, aged between seven and 18, with a manager and up to three carers, two of whom would sleep there overnight. The children housed at the site will have a range of needs that reflect developmental trauma, neurodiversity, sensory issues, emotional and behavioural difficulties and learning disabilities.
