A new 'village' for the elderly could be built right next to Nottingham City Airport. A plan has been put forward to build an 80-bed care home, 20 two-bedroom assisted living apartments, and eight two-bedroom assisted living bungalows for the over 55s next to the in Tollerton.
The site fronts Tollerton Lane to the west and is bounded by a recently-constructed spur road which serves the airport and the £60 million Spire Hospital. There would also be associated parking for cycles, cars and emergency vehicles.
The development site is a partially vacant brownfield site and has been the subject of demolition programmes to remove dilapidated airfield buildings including a large wartime hangar and various other structures. The site lies within the landscape setting of 17 designated heritage assets, all of which are Grade II listed pill boxes from the Second World War.
