Welcome
This consultation is presented on behalf of Churchill Retirement Living and invites you to provide feedback on our initial proposals to build a new high-quality retirement community at the former Edwina Mountbatten House care home site, located between Broadwater Road, Palmerston Street and Bypass Road in Romsey.
Churchill acquired the Edwina Mountbatten House following a detailed sale process, which was undertaken by the Edwina Mountbatten Romsey Memorial Trust, following their decision to close the former care home in July 2022.
We believe the site will make the perfect location for a new retirement community, close to Romsey town centre, the proposed development would bring additional footfall for town centre traders and local expenditure. A new retirement living development in this location would also meet the local need for new homes specifically for older people.
Churchill has a positive history in Romsey having previously delivered two highly successful and popular retirement communities, at Abbey Lodge on Bridge Road, and Mottisfont Lodge located on Alma Road. These exemplify the need for, and viability of, this type of development and the benefits to the area.
This website provides a wide range of information regarding the site, our plans, our company as well about other Churchill retirement communities. You can review this information using the tabs on the website and by looking at our virtual exhibition.
