Charterpoint has received planning approval to build an 80-bed care home in Gedling, Nottingham, on a site previously used as a building compound. The new facility will feature ensuite bedrooms, lounges, dining areas, and other amenities, aiming to provide high-quality accommodation for seniors and support the local community. The development was approved by Gedling Borough Council and is part of Charterpoint's ongoing efforts to expand senior living options.

Specialist senior living developer Charterpoint has been granted planning permission to build a new 80-bed care home in Gedling, Nottingham.

The approved plans include a modern three-storey building on land off Lambley Lane which has recently been used as a building site compound. The plans, approved by Gedling Borough Council, include 80 ensuite bedrooms, along with lounges, dining areas, activity and hobby rooms, a café, and a hairdresser. Access would be via an improved existing access off Lambley Lane.

The plans are the latest in a long line of care homes developed by senior living specialist Charterpoint, which is based at Edwalton, Nottingham.

Charterpoint Managing Director Giles Nursey said: “We’re pleased to have achieved a positive planning outcome at this site in Gedling. It has been allocated for residential use within Gedling Borough Council’s Local Plan and is in an ideal position for a care home.

“Our research suggests that a new, modern, purpose-built care home in Gedling would be an asset to the local community, providing high quality and necessary accommodation for seniors and also helping to free up homes in the area for families.

The care home has been designed by KWL Architects.
