The concept appraisal has been formulated on the basis of providing a specialist care / continuing care retirement development comprising approximately one hundred residential units and communal / care facilities, to specifically address the needs and demands of a growing ageing population and strategic priority in Broxtowe.

The provision of continuing care, retirement and specialist care for older people in later life increases well-being, reduces care home admissions, allows for greater independence for longer, thus offering savings to the NHS and also in rebalancing the local housing market. The release of family dwellings contributes to the local housing supply chain and in turn potentially releases equity to supplement income and later life care costs.

Outline planning permission was awarded for the site in March 2017 on appeal, and it is planned for construction to commence in 2019.
