The Church Street, Briercliffe, house
CONTROVERSIAL plans to turn a six-bedroomed suburban house into a care home for our vulnerable young people have been approved by councillors.

The proposal by Residential Child Care Community (North West) Ltd was passed by Burnley Council development control committee on Thursday.
A planning officers’ report recommended approval with four conditions.
