children's care home spaces
Bromley Council is currently approving plans for new children's care home spaces.
Bromley Council's Plans Sub-Committee No. 2 approved plans for a new four-bedroom children's home in July 2026. This facility will care for up to four children aged 12 to 16 years old at 1A Forde House, Forde Avenue. The approval is subject to a legal agreement, which includes a Bromley Council Social Services Referral, as officers considered these obligations necessary.
Earlier, in May 2026, Bromley Council's Plans Sub-Committee No. 2 also granted permission for another children's care home at Leafy Grove House. These decisions contribute to the provision of residential facilities for children requiring care and support, which is the focus of discussions around children's care home spaces.
