Plan to turn village guest house into children's home

A PLANNING application to open a children's care home in Marston Green has been submitted to Solihull Council.
The proposals would see Arden House, a guest house in Maple Leaf Drive, converted into a care facility and were lodged with the local authority last month.
Documents which form part of the application note that there has been a "steady decline" in trade for the bed and breakfast - which is modelled as a "Shakespearean retreat", with each of its guest rooms named after one of the playwright's characters.
The report notes that there has been a shortage of suitable care homes for youngsters has been identified and it is thought that a change of use would offer the site a viable future.
The applicants do not propose any major alterations to the property, which would be staffed 24 hours a day.
The application is likely to be considered by the council's planning committee later this year.
