A huge new residential care home for older people and those with dementia is to be built in Cardiff. The 85-bedroom nursing home will replace vacant offices at Melrose Hall in St Mellons, which are set to be demolished to make way for the development.
As well as bedrooms the three-storey building will also feature dining halls and a lounge area as well as amenities including a cinema, gym, barbers, and hair salon. Get the latest planning news from across Cardiff sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletter.
Warner Planning, acting on behalf of Bluecrest Land (Melrose) Ltd, received outline permission for the site from Cardiff council on Friday, October 21. The development aims to make a "significant contribution" to an "extensive local need" for residential care accommodation with a growing elderly population increasing demand significantly.
