Plans for new Wilmslow care home on site of builder's merchants and car wash

Plans have been submitted to build a care home on the site of a builders' merchant and car wash.

Altrincham based McGoff Group Properties Ltd are seeking permission to demolish the existing buildings on the 0.37 hectares of land to the west of Alderley Road and erect a 66-bedroom care home along with 30 car parking spaces.

The care home is proposed to be developed for New Care who have a current portfolio of 15 homes and with others already under construction. The Wilmslow care home is intended to be registered for 66 single bedrooms and provide nursing, residential and dementia care for residents of all dependency levels.

Once fully operational the new care home will create 85 new jobs comprised of 65 full- time and 20 part-time positions.

The plans can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website by searing using planning reference 24/4391/FUL.

Plans have also been submitted recently for new 70-bed care home on the site of the BMW garage at 130 Manchester Road, Wilmslow.

So, a care home next to the King's Arms and another on the former Blue Bell BMW site! It's obvious where the money is.

I can assure you those facilities expensive and over priced.
It would be much more affordable and sensible to build apartments for over sixties without all the unnecessary facilities costing a fortune. This enables people to trade down and to allow movement in the property market.
There should be no more than 12 apartments either allowing residents to have the freehold and manage their own maintenance arrangements.

Terry you are probably right. Other towns in England manage this and to get the right facility for their residents so some builders are willing to take it on. If there are builders in our area maybe willing to do this maybe they would like to comment.
