Planning application - childrens care home

[Figgygal]

a planning application to convert a home has been submitted in our village.

Its a tiny village with a tiny school, village hall and pub, no bus service, council seem determined to approve housing applications on every green space and have now bought a house 4 doors away from us for a privately run children's home. Only 3 residents aged up to 11, permanently staffed. It's next to the village hall so plenty of parking for all the comings and goings and that's why they've targeted it I expect.
Theyve also allegedly bought a 2nd property on the other side of the main road opposite the village hall for a 2nd home for up to 3 11-17 year olds though this is just rumour at the moment.

The village fb group is negative I just can't decide if there is actually a need to worry about houses being devalued and anti social behaviour etc
Anyone got any experience of this?
What would you think about this? Would it bother you or not?
Would you buy a house near a home of this nature?

Don't know what to think or what questions to ask if we get an opportunity to.

Thanks

It is OK for the OP to have concerns and I have experience also, I think there are a lot of homes for vulnerable children around now and they are being run by businesses for profit. It absolutely depends on how well the home is run. We have had lots of runaways in the past, some vehicle damage, parking issues and lot of waste generated as its different to normal home use with carers and shifts. Because of disruption - for example running down road banging on all the windows in the night - clearly all the people telling OP she is a monster would be fine with this and absolutely know what to do with a child swearing at them for asking if they are alright in their driveway in the dark. Working with the home has made lots of difference and there are children who live there all the time and have for years who I get on well with and would say are my neighbourhood friends now but clearly it is a complicated relationship and it is difficult parenting in front of those children as I am very aware that they have not had what they see our children having and I care about the children in the home. One thing that did change is that after initial issues the home decided to be more considerate with waste - ie arrange commercial collections and not leave piles on the pavement and to not take children with behaviour they could not handle/ history of violence etc. Ignore the critical posts OP and remember that these are businesses run for profit. If it is well run you won't need to worry about the children there, I used to worry about the level of care they were getting and I don't now. So work with and critique the organisation running it - can they tell you about similar locations where everyone - neighbours and children in care and the staff in the home - are living together positively?

@Trulyme it is absolutely different to fostering. A foster family doesn't consist of lots of workers on a shift pattern and these homes might sadly house children a Foster family might not cope with.
