Former nursing home that has been vacant since closure of the facility in 2016. Potential scope for conversion to residential units and/or part demolition and new-build. Permission granted for alteration to provide 7 flats (16/00935/FUL). The units will be provided by converting a number of existing buildings across three sections of the site. This includes conversion of the main building, an off-shoot to the south and a separate detached building to the east. Other elements of the existing building will be demolished as part of the works. Works began in 2016. During 2018/19, 6 of the flats were completed, leaving just the last unit outstanding. The final plot was commenced at the same time as the rest of the scheme but has not been finished. Whilst the permission will not lapse, and the theoretical capacity from the extant planning permission remains, the future delivery of all outstanding units is currently discounted. If/when new information becomes available to suggest a change to this position, then deliverability can be appraised.
