Search the Public Notice PortalPlans have been unveiled for a retirement development on a former high school site.
Developer McCarthy & Stone said it would be working in partnership
with a local affordable housing provider on plans for new homes at the former Frodsham High School site on Princeway.
Project chiefs said the proposals would bring a brownfield site back into use
and deliver 46 retirement living apartments and up to 14 family houses – with all of the homes being designated as ‘affordable’.
The firm said the scheme had been developed with the input of specialist urban design and transport consultants. It said the apartments are designed specifically for people in later life and that the site would include landscaped gardens, with on-site parking and mobility scooter storage with charging points.
Bridget Faughnan-Bing, development director for McCarthy & Stone, said:
“We are excited to share our emerging plans for a new residential development in Frodsham.
“This proposed scheme aims to meet the growing demand for affordable retirement and family housing in the area by providing housing for local families and specialist accommodation for older people.”
She added that the accommodation would help ‘ease pressure’ on the wider housing market by freeing up family homes for locals and first-time buyers. The firm said it is currently carrying out a public consultation and that feedback received would help finalise its plans.
She said: “Our goal is to create a development that makes a positive contribution to the local community. We are keen to hear from residents and gather feedback on our proposals. We invite people to visit our website to view the plans and complete the feedback form.”
Frodsham High School permanently closed in 2009 due to declining enrolment and lower birth rates, with the remaining students transferred to Helsby High.
