Our Proposals
Churchill Retirement Living’s vision for the site is to deliver a development that meets our customer’s needs and the local need for retirement apartments making a significant contribution locally in terms of social, economic and environmental benefits.
Churchill’s proposals would contribute positively to the character and appearance of Castle Street and North Bar Street, replacing a dated former bingo hall, with an attractive and traditional retirement living community.
The existing Bingo Hall wraps around Trelawn House, a listed Georgian townhouse and has an overbearing relationship with the building. The proposals present an opportunity to open up Trelawn House enabling it to re-establish its dominance in the Street Scene.
The proposal seeks to continue the line of trees along Castle Street to enhance the local landscape character.
The existing Land Tyre Service in the south eastern corner of the site would remain in its current location.
Retirement living developments have very specific design requirements. This, along with an analysis of the site and context, has led the Churchill’s Design Team to create a concept for the proposed development which is both appropriate for the site and in-keeping with its surroundings.
