Planning report
A statement supporting the application said:
“The initial brief was to create a central apartment block forming the principal extra care living provision with a series of ‘villages’ providing individual bungalows.
“The brief was expanded and developers in detail with the applicant Keon Homes and the care home operator Bromford Homes.
“The scheme was developed as a single large apartment building with three care ‘villages’ surrounding.
“The road network has been developed to minimise the extent of adopted roads and manage on site traffic to create a safe and attractive environment for residents.”
