McCarthy Stone unveils plans for Trafford care scheme
A consultation is being held on plans to deliver 64 apartments on the brownfield plot off Moss Lane in Hale to address a “significant shortage” of retirement living options.
McCarthy Stone is inviting the local community to have their say on its proposals at mosslane.mccarthystone. The consultation will run until 23 November.
AEW Architects is designing the Trafford care development, which would provide accommodation for those over the age of 70.
Residents would have access to tailored extra care support services, as well as a range of amenities including a restaurant, communal lounges, and a hotel-style guest suite for visitors.
Initial drawings also show large areas of landscaping, featuring a community garden with seating and new planting to boost the biodiversity of the brownfield land.
McCarthy Stone hopes to address the pressing issue of retirement living options with this development. Consultation documents state that Trafford presently faces a “significant shortage of retirement living options, with the challenge set to intensify as our elderly population grows”.
Lexington is advising the developer on the proposals.
A spokesperson for McCarthy Stone stated that the scheme would create a strong sense of community for homeowners.
“The current site is disused brownfield land and presents an exciting opportunity for us to revitalise the area with a high quality development”, they continued.
