Welcome
This consultation is presented on behalf of Churchill Retirement Living and invites you to provide feedback on our emerging proposals for a new high-quality retirement community at 68 & 70 Keymer Road, Hassocks, West Sussex, BN6 8QP.
The owners of 68 and 70 Keymer Road have made the decision to sell their properties for development. Churchill has therefore agreed to acquire the site, subject to securing planning permission, for the development of purpose-built homes for older people.
The proposed site is in a sustainable location, characterised by residential uses. The site is in an ideal location for a retirement living development, within easy walking distance to local shops and facilities on Keymer Road and only a few minutes’ walk from Hassocks train station, connecting future residents to places further afield.
New retirement living homes, near everyday services, create considerable uplift in footfall and spending in local shops and support jobs on the high street. Research shows that a new retirement living community will generate extra expenditure in the region of £420,000 per year in the local high street. This will particularly benefit the shops and facilities on Keymer Road.
This website provides a wide range of information regarding the site, our plans and more information regarding Churchill Retirement Living’s communities. You can review this information using the tabs on the website and by looking at our virtual exhibition.
Your views
We value your feedback on our proposed development so please provide your views via our feedback page.
Your comments will be used to help evolve the proposals prior to a planning application being submitted to the Local Planning Authority. How your comments have been considered will be detailed in a Statement of Community Involvement that will support the future planning application for the site.
Please don’t hold off in expressing any support for the proposals, as this will assist in the determination of the planning application.
