The Local Ward Member (Councillor Jerry Wellens) spoke in relation to the application and in doing so confirmed that he supported the policy of bringing infrastructure and care in-house. He raised some of the points that had been brought to his attention as local ward member: · The profile of the proposed use had changed in relation to age and the residents would be young adults · Whilst accepting that the site would be monitored, concerns had been raised that there was potential for anti-social behaviour · Confirmation sought on the management of the facility, would it be WCBC of would it be contracted out? · Was there the possibility of granting time limited permission? The Lead Member for Children and Family Services (Councillor Rob Walsh) spoke in relation to the application and in doing so informed committee that this proposed facility formed part of the Kickstart Programme which helps young people to transfer to adulthood. The local authority has statutory duty to safeguard young people and this has the potential to be a very positive venture. Members raised the following points: Support given for the proposals on assurance of adequate car and cycle parking provision and a designated disabled bay. Arising from the observations of a Member, it was suggested officers communicate with Welsh Government asking for the rewording of class use C2 from residential institutions to residential care facility which would reflect a more appropriate description and may allay concerns from members of the public.
