After a successful planning appeal, Churchill Retirement Living<\/a> has been granted planning permission to build 78 brand new independent living retirement apartments in Banbury<\/a>. Regenerating the former Buzz Bingo Hall on Bolton Road, the new development will bring a thriving new community to the heart of Banbury, contributing over \u00a3600k a year to the local economy and supporting around 147 jobs both during and after construction.<\/span><\/p>

In the appeal decision notice, the Government\u2019s Planning Inspector S R G Baird dismissed any concerns about the development\u2019s impact on a neighbouring Grade 2 listed building, concluding that the plans \u201cwould not result in harm to Trelawn House and would enhance its setting such that its architectural and historic interest would be preserved. Similarly, the scheme would enhance the character and appearance of the Castle Street and Main Route Character Areas of the Conservation Area.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>

The new development will provide attractive, high quality, secure and self-contained accommodation in landscaped grounds. As with all Churchill Retirement Living developments, Owners will enjoy independent living and a sense of community, with a communal Owners\u2019 Lounge, a Guest Suite, a Lodge Manager, and a 24 hour emergency call alarm service.<\/span><\/p>

Stuart Goodwill, Managing Director of Churchill\u2019s planning consultancy, said: \u201cThis is a very positive result and we will now look forward to starting work as soon as possible on this new development which will create a vibrant new community in the heart of Banbury. Retirement housing is the most effective form of residential development for generating local economic growth, supporting local jobs, and increasing high street spend. The new apartments will also help improve the health and wellbeing of those who live there, and meet the housing needs of many older people in Banbury and the surrounding area.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>

The new development will meet existing and future need in the local area and will provide these key benefits:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>
