Care Home Development in Earl Shilton, Leicestershire
Status: Pre Application
Application Type: Full Planning Application
Proposal
Muller Property Group is bringing forward proposals for a purpose-built specialist care home development on land west of Elmesthorpe Lane, Earl Shilton.
The proposals comprise a 70-bedroom care home designed to provide high-quality dementia, nursing, residential and end-of-life care accommodation within a modern and purpose-built environment.
Arranged across two storeys, the development has been carefully designed to respond positively to the surrounding residential character while delivering an important form of healthcare and social care infrastructure within the local area.
The care home will provide specialist accommodation designed around modern dementia care principles, incorporating en-suite bedrooms, safe circulation spaces, secure landscaped gardens and high-quality communal facilities to support residents’ wellbeing, independence and quality of life.
The proposals seek to create a sustainable and landscape-led care environment that integrates positively with the surrounding area while addressing a significant and growing need for modern care provision across Earl Shilton and the wider Hinckley and Bosworth area.
Location and Access
The site extends to approximately 1.15 acres (0.47 hectares) of land located off Elmesthorpe Lane on the southern edge of Earl Shilton, Leicestershire.
The site occupies a sustainable location with strong access to local services, public transport and surrounding healthcare infrastructure. Frequent bus services operate close to the site, providing direct connections between Leicester, Hinckley, Coventry and surrounding settlements.
Vehicle access is proposed from Elmesthorpe Lane, with parking and servicing integrated sensitively within the wider landscape strategy.
Benefits
The proposals will deliver a range of important social, economic and healthcare benefits, including:
- Delivery of a 70-bedroom specialist care home providing dementia, nursing and end-of-life care
- Provision of modern, purpose-built accommodation designed around best practice dementia care principles
- Significant investment into healthcare and social care infrastructure within Earl Shilton and the wider borough
- Delivery of high-quality en-suite accommodation and specialist care facilities
- Creation of landscaped gardens and secure outdoor amenity spaces for residents
- New employment opportunities across healthcare, management, hospitality and support roles
- Biodiversity enhancements and new landscaping throughout the site
- Reduced pressure on NHS services through increased specialist care capacity
- Support for local families requiring high-quality elderly care provision close to existing communities
- Investment into the local economy through construction activity and long-term operational employment
Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council
The proposals respond directly to an identified and growing need for modern specialist care accommodation across Earl Shilton and the wider area.
Demographic trends indicate increasing demand for dementia and elderly care provision, alongside an existing shortfall in modern, fit-for-purpose care home accommodation capable of meeting future healthcare requirements.
Muller Property Group is currently preparing a planning application supported by a programme of technical assessment and stakeholder engagement.
