Warwickshire County Council seeks feedback on plans for extra care housing development

Warwickshire County Council is looking to increase the number of extra-care homes within the county as census data records a significant rise in the number of over-65s in the area. 

The council has identified the site of the former Manor Park Community School in Nuneaton. The 0.72 Hectare site has been unused since the school’s closure in 2010. It has been recently demolished to make way for 58 homes by Warwickshire Property Development Company and has the potential for 65 additional extra-care apartments.

The council is seeking preliminary market feedback: "We are seeking to explore innovative ways of delivering an operational scheme on the site and explore the model of development and funding that would be required to deliver the scheme. This activity also provides the opportunity for organisations to contribute ideas as to how the services may be developed for people needing this type of service."

Feedback on the Warwickshire Property Development Companies housing development is not sought but potential schemes should form a cohesive development between the two.
