Plans for 56-apartment Chester retirement development revealed
Plans have been unveiled for a 56-apartment development in Chester by retirement community specialist, McCarthy Stone.
The group has acquired an interest in land next to Shot Works, Chester, and is bringing forward proposals to redevelop the site with high quality retirement accommodation, specially designed to meet the needs of people in later life.
Feedback from local residents and businesses is being encouraged and meetings with the local community and close neighbours of the site have been offered to explain the proposals which, the developer says, would deliver a sensitively designed development.
The apartments would be situated near local shops and services, with on-site parking, and landscaped gardens.
McCarthy Stone’s Retirement Living developments also feature communal facilities such as a residents’ lounge, mobility scooter charging and storage room, guest suite and lift access to all floors.
Ian Wilkins the divisional managing director North, McCarthy Stone, said: “Our plans provide a fantastic opportunity to deliver much needed retirement living accommodation. The site is ideally located for residents to access local shops and services and public transport links across the wider region.
“We strongly believe that our proposals for Chester will improve the appearance of this brownfield site and support the rejuvenation of the local area.”
He added: “We are encouraged by comments from residents so far and would like to hear local views on our proposals before we finalise our planning application. I’d encourage people to go online and view the proposals, where they’ll be able to complete our online feedback form.”
Feedback will help the developer to understand local thoughts and suggestions ahead of submitting a planning application to Cheshire West and Chester Council.
The local community are encouraged to find out more about the plans and provide their feedback at a virtual consultation which will be available from January 19-29th via http://www.mccarthystoneconsultation.co.uk/chester
