Currently, up to five children aged between 10 and 18 live at Coniston House in Haybridge Road, Hadley.
However, Cove Care (Residential) Limited now wants it be a home for young people aged 16 to 25. The company has therefore applied Telford and Wrekin Council for the house to become a young people's care home.
"The mental health care sector, in recent years, has seen a tsunami of young people presenting in need of their services," said Acbuckley Architectural in the planning application, on behalf of Cove Care (Residential) Limited.
