There will be a public consultation with local residents in advance of the submission of a planning application
Plans are being drawn up for a new extra care living scheme on land adjacent to Spring Wood Road in Guisborough.
A planning application is being prepared for submission to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council for the development of 12 bungalows, and a block of 70 apartments on land next to the Aldi supermarket on Spring Wood Road.
The extra care proposals have been developed by Housing 21, in partnership with Ryedale Estates Ltd and the council, and seek to address the shortage of specialist housing for older people in the local area.
There will be a public consultation with local residents in advance of the submission of a planning application. The site is vacant land, and is the final plot in the 20-year regeneration of Cleveland Gate. It lies near the centre of Guisborough, and is well served by various nearby amenities. The site is bound by the Aldi and Iceland food stores to the north, and is adjacent to the recently completed Newton Wood residential development, built by Avant Homes.
The proposed bungalows will include six pairs of semi-detached units, each with a private garden area and off-street parking. The bungalows will be located to the east of the site, and access will be gained via the primary access route into the site from Spring Wood Road. The apartment building will accommodate 70 one and two bed units and will be fully equipped and self-contained, enabling independent occupation.
Additionally, a number of communal facilities are proposed, including a residents’ lounge and gardens, a bistro café, a hair salon, an assisted bathroom and a guest suite. Staff and visitor parking will be located to the front of the building, with access from Spring Wood Road.
