Maplewood Close, Leyland is a small cul-de-sac of 14 houses and bungalows; the greater number of its occupants are aged over 55 years some nearing their later 80's with health needs and vulnerabilities.
As residents we have received an application to change house No. 2 from a C3 dwelling to a C2 residential institute for three children aged 10 -17. Care for these children will be provided by Northridge Care Group.
These children will have multi specialist challenging behavior, requiring 1:1 care support at a minimum.
It is proposed that there will be 9 carers employed to provide care on a shift basis along with a care manager; they have advised that there will be parking allocation for four vehicles. - we believe that if there are to be company vehicle/s along with vehicles for staff on shift on site there wouldn't be enough parking allocation especially if we include parking for staff coming on and off shift . As a small cul-de-sac there is already limited parking available for current residents cars. We are also concerned re the increased traffic to the area created by the shift changes, specialist visit, and transportation of children to and from school. This would create both noise and safety concerns.
Narrowing the cul-de-sac further with more vehicles will cause an obstruction for emergency vehicles, waste disposal and supermarket deliveries, etc. If the pavements are all blocked by cars residents will have no choice but to walk on the road and cross between vehicles.
We would like to you to support our opposition to this application on grounds of increased noise, lack of allocated parking for service need and vulnerability and safety of existing residents.

Northridge Care Group still thinks they can force this business into our quiet street despite our clear objections. I am currently documenting every inch of this narrow cul-de-sac to prove to the council that their parking plan is a dangerous fantasy.

The sheer volume of people backing this fight has finally stopped Northridge Care Group in their tracks. They think they can squeeze a commercial operation into our quiet home, but this momentum proves they have severely underestimated us.

like others have said if its anything like 174 fox lane i,ve counted up to 8 cars on that drive with some parked on the grass verge. I,m guessing staff will just park anywhere causing problems to other homeowners
The house is too close to the corner for that many cars to be outside it could cause collisions and damage to other peoples property making the cul-de-sec dangerous for the current residents.
Complete disregard for space, privacy and the people of this close. The surrounding streets will also feel the increase in traffic and parking spaces being used up. Elderly people could be restricted of any care they might need as many residents are getting to that age. Any emergency services will be held up, without access as this is at the very front of the close. This location makes no sense.
Terrible idea, a very small close that will just be impossible to enter if this goes ahead. Good luck to bin men/ deliveries in isolation/ anyone wanting to be visited by family anymore on this close.
It is a most inappropriate place to put this type of development. The noise crated by the children and staff in the garden. will be as bad as we get from number 174 Fox lane, the wailing and shouting is very disturbing. Also where are the staff going to park their cars? One Cedarwood Drive, blocking the driveways. of more senior citizens.
Parking in this street is already problematic and this would just make it a lot worse.
Ridiculous suggestion for a close this small.

This is a residential area with very little parking, it is not suitable for a business such as that which is subject of this petition. It will be extremely unfair to allow it in a small close of mainly older people.
