An unnamed operator has applied to Dudley Council for permission to turn the house in Dorchester Road, Pedmore, into a home for children with learning difficulties or who have suffered emotional trauma.
The applicant said the home would cater for cater for four or five children, aged eight-16, who were in the care of the local authority.
A spokesman for the company said the home would not be used by violent children or those with a history of substance abuse of any kind.
