Proposed Retirement Apartments With Care
Land off Ratcliffe Road, Leicester
Adlington Retirement Living designs, builds and operates retirement living communities with care. Our innovative, spacious apartments don’t just win over homeowners and their families: they also win the recognition of our industry peers. The seven family homes will also be of high quality, ensuring a mix of accommodation is provided whilst complementing the retirement community.
We have built award-winning retirement communities in Otley, Portishead, Macclesfield, and Stockport, recognised at the National WhatHouse? Awards for “Best Retirement Development in the UK”, as well as “Best Development” at the 2022 and 2023 Health Investor awards. With over 1,000 current homeowners we continue to develop new communities across the North West, Yorkshire, the Midlands and the South West.
Our vision is to empower the older generation to live a long, happy and healthy life, by providing a valuable product and service, therefore reducing the ever-growing strain on the NHS.
The Proposed Development
Adlington is intending to apply for Planning Permission for a retirement apartment with care community comprising circa 90 private apartments with communal facilities and landscaped gardens. This consultation demonstrates how the design has developed since the last public exhibition in November 2022. We have worked closely with a Design Review Panel (DRP) which is a group of independent, multi-disciplinary architects, planners and landscape consultants. Their purpose is to provide impartial expert advice to applicants and local authorities on design issues in relation to important developments at pre-application stage and we are pleased to confirm that they generally support the design, layout, scale and massing.
