New care home planned for Staffordshire
A new 66-bed care home for older people is planned for Lichfield.
LNT Care Developments is seeking permission for the three storey facility on land at Scotch Orchard.
There is currently a vacant former day nursery, which has been closed since 2008, on the land as well as a 15 bedroom residential care home for people with learning disabilities, the planning application form stated.
A design and access statement submitted as part of the application said: “The site has previous planning history with an approved application in 2017 for a 27- dwelling residential development which did not come to fruition, this in principle indicates that the site is acceptable for development. The proposed care home would be a purpose-built three-storey 66-bedroom residential care facility for older people with associated access, parking and landscaping.
“The proposed care home will be a local community care facility, intended to be occupied and staffed by local people, or people with a local connection. The scheme is developed to enable the operational care home to provide two types of care, general and dementia care.
“LNT are a renowned care home developer that provide a high-quality, caring environment designed to provide an excellent quality of life. All the care homes are developed fit-for purpose and future proofed for the wellbeing of residents.”
