A CLITHEROE care home has applied to Ribble Valley Borough Council to build an extension for nine extra bedrooms.
High Brake House in Chatburn Road has submitted plans to the council which, if approved next year, would bring the number of bedrooms up to 35.
The plans also include two additional car parking spaces and one disabled space.
A spokesman for the applicant, in a letter to the council, said: "The existing levels of the site allow for a two storey extension to be considered without having an over bearing effect on the existing bedrooms or the neighbouring residential properties.
"The applicant intends to replace an existing bedroom with additional staff facilities.
"There is also the possibility of replacing an existing ground floor bedroom with additional lounge area."
The application is due to be decided by the council in the coming months.
