The building would provide specialist adult social care, according to the planning documents
A five-storey apartment building could be built in Stalybridge to provide specialist adult social care.The land is currently ‘derelict open space’ and is presumed to have been left vacant as part of the wider clearance of the former gas works and buildings to the north of High Street, according to planning documents.
A report provided on behalf of the applicant, Evans UK Property Limited, states: “The site is currently vacant and disused and has become an eyesore within a prominent part of the town centre along Grosvenor Street, a partial shared surface route into the town centre.” “On site office ensures that staff have facilities and premises on site reducing travel time and increasing the amount of time they can spend with residents improving their overall access to care,” the document adds.
There would be no parking spaces included with the ‘car free’ development, which the applicant says would be acceptable due to the ‘highly sustainable nature of the location’.
