An application to use a home to care for up to five children has been met with anti-social behaviour claims. South Holland District Council’s planning committee will meet today (Wednesday April 2) to discuss Mr D. John’s plans for his property at 19 Langwith Drive, Holbeach - a two-storey detached dwelling on a cul-de-sac.
MP Sir John Hayes and 12 members of the public have sent representations regarding the scheme. Concerns raised include anti-social behaviour, noise disturbance, the potential devaluing of neighbouring properties, and a lack of consultation with neighbours. As the request is for a lawful development certificate - which provides formal confirmation that a proposed use of the building is acceptable - rather than planning permission, third party consultation is not required.
Check out our planning portal here Mr John has confirmed he does not know the ages of the young people, but confirmed his cousin would assist with the care. “They have set out they intend to care for young people under long term placements to offer stability,” the officer’s report said. “Social workers would likely visit every six weeks and possibly other professionals; however, the applicant would not be working with other staff who would be working shifts.
