Demolition project could improve care home -- all the latest Mansfield plans
A demolition proposal to improve and extend a care home is among the latest bundle of planning applications received by Mansfield District Council.
Woodhouse Road Care Home, rated ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission, is a small business that operates from the main building at 31, Woodhouse Road.
A large three-storey house, comprising eight bedrooms and providing supported accommodation, it is run by Hope Super Jobs, a leading professional care service that offers a comprehensive range of specialist help for vulnerable adults and children.
Within its grounds is a detached garage which, according to Hope, is “dilapidated and falling apart”. So Marlene Joseph, the company’s chief, has submitted a planning application to demolish it and replace it with a two-bedroom bungalow.
Planning papers say the bungalow would act as an extension to the care home, “providing additional accommodation, contributing to the local housing supply and making efficient use of under-utilised land”.
Mrs Joseph’s agent, Kirk Morrison of the Kent-based architects, Huram Design Studio, says the new building would be constructed using “high-quality materials”, with “a design that respects the local vernacular”. It would have a rear garden and off-street parking for at least one vehicle.
The bungalow would “harmonise with the street scene”, have no impact on neighbours and no adverse effect on highway safety.
The council’s planning officers are currently considering the proposal and are aiming to make a decision or recommendation by their deadline date of Friday, November 21.
