New apartments planned on former Highclere Lodge care home site in Carlton

Planners have received an application to build new apartments on the site of a former Carlton care home.

The planning application seeks permission for the redevelopment of the former
Highclere Lodge care home site with the proposed construction of 22 residential apartments,
together with central courtyard area, car parking and external amenities.

The former care home was demolished in April 2017 by its owners in a bid to make the site more attractive to developers after being vacant for a number of years.

The document submitted by developers states the development on Burton Road would ‘inject new life into the town centre, bringing a welcomed increase in footfall and subsequent revenue for existing businesses within the immediate area.’

The application will now be considered by Gedling Borough Council’s planning committee.
