Shops in Clitheroe could be flattened to make way for a 70-bed care home.
Cheshire-based Muller Property Group has lodged plans to flatten existing buildings on Pendle Road and build a home for people with nursing and dementia needs in its place. The firm says the existing buildings - which include a furniture showroom and school uniform shop - are “outdated” and that there is a local need for more care accommodation.
Muller says the new complex would also lead to the creation of 70 jobs, a significant rise on the compared to around 10 full time staff currently working across the location. If approved, the new facility will include en-suite bedrooms and facilities such as a cinema, hair and nail salon, café/bistro, plus day spaces with varying functions for residents.The plans also include a dedicated car park and landscaped area for residents to enjoy.
Colin Muller, Chief Executive of Muller Property Group, said: “The provision of registered care accommodation for the elderly in the area around Pendle Mill is inadequate. There is an immediate requirement for an additional 300 elderly care beds in the area with a limited existing supply of only 170 care beds with en-suite amenities.
“There is a well-documented shortfall of appropriate housing for care exceeding 200 bed spaces is also evident across the wider Pendle area. The existing property is now outdated for modern use, but is a well-located and highly sustainable site and is within easy walking distance to the town centre of Clitheroe. It is therefore, well placed for a care home and such a facility will serve the local community with care facilities, serve social needs and create new jobs in the area for local people.
