Benefits
The proposed development would provide a wide range of benefits for the local community, including:
Regeneration of an important site – The proposals would bring this vacant site into positive and beneficial use and make a significant contribution locally in terms of social, economic and environmental benefits.
Meeting the needs of older people – By moving to a Churchill Retirement Community of like-minded people, isolation and loneliness are significantly reduced as are anxieties related to the maintenance of the home and to safety and security experienced by many older people, enabling our residents to enjoy greatly improved health and general wellbeing.
Reducing demands on health and social services – Retirement communities reduce the risk of health challenges by helping to reduce social isolation and loneliness for elderly people as well as improving safety and security.
Supporting local businesses – The site is well-located to shops and essential services, reducing the need to travel by car and delivering a significant uplift in local expenditure at local shops and businesses.
