PLANS have been submitted to open a residential children's home in Askam.
North West Child Care wants to change the use of a six-bedroom house in Ireleth Road to accommodate emergency and scheduled placements for children in care.
The plans state the home will employ 10 staff and require six spaces for car parking.
A public consultation will run until April 14 before Barrow Borough Council makes a decision on the application to change the use of the premises.
