400 locals object to controversial plans to convert care homes

Two former care homes have been given permission to be converted into shared houses for up to 29 people – despite 400 residents objecting.

Shocked residents at two care homes, some of whom were more than 100-years-old, were told to find alternative accommodation before October 31. Administrators Kroll, who had been running the homes for almost a year after the previous operator failed, decided to close the doors and auction off the vacant buildings.

He cited concerns about, parking, the loss of amenity to neighbours, lack of outdoor space and inadequate bin storage as reasons to turn the application down. A representative speaking in favour of the plans said the Moorfields property would be used to house ‘professionals aged between 30 to 60’ who would stay for a minimum of 12 months and the plans exceeded minimum HMO licensing rules.

Councillors Charlotte Morris and Jack Rydeheard also objected. Coun Morris said that the application ‘contavened the council’s own policy’ which stated that HMOs should be limited to 10 bed spaces.
