We are carrying out essential maintenance from 6pm tonight. This may affect some of our online systems such as My Account, online forms, accessing planning applications, the postcode search tool, and browsing committee meeting information. We apologies for the inconvenience and anticipate that systems should be back online by the morning.
Planning guidance for children's homes
Children’s care homes play a key role in providing social care provision for young people.
If you wish to set up a children's care home in Melton Borough you will need to register with Ofsted. You may also need to apply for planning permission as you will be changing the use of the building. Full guidance for applicants of children's homes can be found in the download panel below.
If after the reading the guidance you are still unsure of the steps you need to take, you can get some pre-application advice from our planning team, before submitting your application.
We welcome discussions with applicants or agents before applications are submitted as they can help to achieve time savings, and a better standard of application, which improves the chance of a timely and successful outcome.
