An historic old nurses’ home is to be demolished to make way for new housing after councillors agreed it was 'falling down anyway'. Planners have given the go ahead for 27 ‘high quality’ new homes on the site of the long-vacant building at Cheadle Royal Hospital, in Wilmslow Road, Heald Green.
They also gave special permission to knock down the old nurses home, which enjoys listed status due to its setting in the grounds of the Grade II listed hospital. The new development - dubbed ‘The Royal Quarter’ - will feature a mix of three, four and five bedroom properties, including townhouses and detached and semi-detached homes.
A new vehicle entrance will be created from nearby St Ann’s Hospice, while each home has two parking spaces. The proposals, from developer AM7 Group , went before Stockport council’s planning committee on Thursday night (March 23).
