Frequently Asked Questions
Why is redevelopment necessary?
The existing single-storey extension is outdated and does not reflect the quality or character of the main building. Redevelopment allows the home to provide modern, high-quality accommodation and facilities.
How many new rooms are being added?
The proposals include 20 new bedrooms, all designed to meet modern care standards (C2 use).
Will construction cause disruption?
There will be some temporary disruption during construction. However, measures will be put in place to minimise noise, traffic, and inconvenience as much as possible.
Will the extension impact neighbouring properties?
The design has been carefully developed to minimise impacts on neighbouring properties, including considerations of scale, layout, and positioning.
How tall will the new extension be?
The new extension will be two storeys in height and designed to integrate with the existing building, ensuring a balanced and appropriate appearance.
How will residents benefit?
Residents will benefit from modern, purpose-built accommodation, improved facilities, and enhanced outdoor spaces, supporting wellbeing and quality of life.
What improvements are being made to the grounds?
The scheme includes enhanced landscaping, improved outdoor spaces for residents, and the removal of the front wall to create a more open and attractive frontage.
Will parking or traffic increase?
The proposals have been designed to operate within the existing site context. Any changes to parking or traffic will be assessed as part of the planning process.
