| ce04643e22794e83cec5bcf1ea20ae244a789d1f5fbdcefc9fda427d3f16d24b | notes | Former 3-storey care home that has been closed for a number of years and is currently standing vacant. The building is deteriorating and is at risk of vandalism and the impacts of natural elements. Conversion and alteration of the building is likely to be the most appropriate method of redevelopment. Various options have been considered for the reuse of the building. An initial application for conversion to a 'boutique hotel' was approved in 2016 (16/00451/FUL). Works commenced on this project but have since stalled. After reconsideration, the owner was unable to complete the work and the project was shelved. However, a revised proposal for conversion to 8 flats was approved in 2021. Scheme involves demolition of the old laundry and timber out buildings and retention of the main building for conversion to 'luxury apartments' across three-storeys. As the original permission (2016) for conversion to a hotel has been implemented and it will not lapse, theoretically either scheme could still be progressed. However, it is understood the intention of the landowner/developer is to delivery the residential scheme. Forecast for completion within the next 5 years. | 2021-12-17 |
