The Design Process
An outline planning application for the site was approved in 2008 for a residential development of 99no. houses. The Bournville Village Trust superseded this with a new outline application in January 2012 for the development of a care village consisting of a 208unit extra care facility; a dementia care home; an independent living scheme and a Health and Well Being Centre along with a new village green. Planning permission was granted in April 2012.
A detailed planning application was submitted in June 2014 for a 35 unit independent living scheme, with planning permission granted in August 2014. This scheme was not progressed beyond this point and subsequently Stride Treglown developed a 16 unit over-55s scheme on the site for The ExtraCare Charitable Trust. A detailed planning application was submitted in March 2016 with planning permission granted in June 2016.
