Specialist senior living developer Charterpoint has started off the New Year with the announcement of plans for two new care homes.

The company has submitted planning applications for care homes in Gedling near Nottingham and for the north of Peterborough. Both schemes are for modern three-storey, 80-bed care homes with lounges, dining rooms, activity areas and other facilities.

Charterpoint CEO Adrian Goose said:

“As a specialist in the senior living and care home sector, Charterpoint is very pleased to have applied for planning permission for two additional care homes to add to our portfolio."

“We have a strong track record of developing best in class care homes - identifying areas where there is demand for such facilities, designing attractive buildings, and securing planning permission for the developments."

“We are delighted to have now submitted plans to Gedling Borough Council and to Peterborough City Council for two further care homes.”

The Gedling proposals are for a site off Lambley Lane which has been identified for residential use within Gedling Borough Council's Local Plan. The care home plans include 80 ensuite bedrooms, along with lounges, dining areas, activity and hobby rooms, a café, and a hairdresser. Access would be via an improved existing access off Lambley Lane.

The care home has been designed by KWL Architects.

The Peterborough care home is located to the north of the city and also features en-suite bedrooms, along with residents’ lounges, dining areas, a cinema, a hair dresser, a café/bistro opening onto a terrace, activity room and other facilities.

Designed by Anotherkind Architects, and to be accessed off Newborough Road, the development will include spacious gardens, patios and communal terraces on the first and second floors, plus 33 car parking spaces for staff and visitors.

Charterpoint MD Giles Nursey said:

“Our proposed new care home is in an area of Peterborough which is experiencing significant and rapid local growth, where a care home would be a tremendous asset to the community."

“This care home would offer yet another best in class asset in an easily accessible and visible site, responding to this locally recognised need.”

Charterpoint has worked with planning consultants P&DG on the Peterborough proposals.

Charterpoint, which is based at Edwalton near Nottingham, specialises in developing first-class senior living accommodation, mixed-use and sustainable housing schemes, and primary care premises.
