A house within Beardwood has been granted  permission to be used as a halfway house for teenagers that may have:

-Sexually harmful behaviour
-Substance abuse
-Offending behaviours

These behaviours are clearly listed on the website for the company that has received the approval.

The planning document says

"Care needs would typically relate to learning difficulties and sensory impairments."

However, a letter from the company to some residents has stated specifically that this will NOT be the case. Instead they write:

" The home will accommodate up to 3 young people with emotional, behavioural and social difficulties." (EBD)

The Council have been mislead on the purpose of the house &
neighbours to the house were not consulted prior to the application.

Support this petition to voice your concern as we discuss this further with the Council. Thank you
