Plans to create a new 66-bed care home in Lichfield have been approved.
LNT Care Developments aim to build the three-storey facility for older people on Scotch Orchard.
The land had previously been home to a residential care site for people with learning disabilities and a day nursery.
A planning statement said:
“The proposed care home would be a purpose-built three-storey 66-bedroom residential care facility for older people with associated access, parking and landscaping.
“The scheme is developed to enable the operational care home to provide two types of care – general and dementia care.
“LNT are a renowned care home developer that provide a high-quality, caring environment designed to provide an excellent quality of life.
“All the care homes are developed fit-for purpose and future proofed for the wellbeing of residents.”
Planning statement
Full details of the development are available on Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
This article will trigger loads of comments such as:
Not enough doctor’s appointments already. Why add more old sick people?
Why do we need another care home?
What does LDC planning do all day?
What about a new school instead?
What about a new dentist or doctor’s surgery instead?
Is this because of HS2?
Lichfield used to be nice.
I blame the Tories.
We need less boats arriving?
Will the residents help dig the canal?
So predictable.

What a surprise…
Crikey. At least I only complain about other people’s comments AFTER they’ve made them.
@Alica Fibmerchant… Predictable maybe, but instead of trying to second guess other people’s reactions to this development, why not tell us why you think this new care home is still a good idea notwithstanding the many negative aspects you have listed?
@alica… roll on the next general election and we can all wave goodbye to all your negativity.
@Butntwoods finest….what makes you think my ‘negativity’ is linked to a General Election? We had a local election in May and the party I voted for (for the first time in my 60 plus years on the planet) in good faith subsequently refused to step up and take the hot seat. I’ve wanted to see proper change for ages. Our local MP is a waste of space and our district council and county council aren’t fit to run a bath. Trouble is though it doesn’t look like the current opposition are much cop either. So there me old Burntwood mucka. You’ve got years of my moaning left yet.
