A PLAN to use a new home on the Titan Wharf estate in Stourbridge as a small care home for young people has been withdrawn.
Paramount Children Care had applied for a Certificate of Lawful Development for 7 Moorings Crescent in a bid to use the property as a small home for three young people.
The new build property was built by Taylor Wimpey as a detached four-bedroom family home as part of its canal side Titan Wharf development.
The application sought confirmation from Dudley Council that the proposed use of the property, off Old Wharf Road, would be considered in planning terms a non-material change of use from its established use as a family home.
The proposal was to use the building as a residential home for a maximum of three young children, aged eight to 18, supported by live-in carers.
But planning agents Simpatico Town Planning have now confirmed that the application has been withdrawn.
