Proposals for more than 60 new care apartments off a large Lincolnshire village have been submitted. LACE Housing has applied to West Lindsey District Council for permission to build a ‘care village’ of  residential care homes made up of 62 flats and 10 bungalows on land east of Prebend Lane, Welton.

The agent added that the design would be “modern, relaxed, spacious and welcoming” and would fit into the existing fabric of Welton. He wrote: “It is our view that the scheme successfully creates an environment that has its own unique sense of place but also feels familiar to its surroundings.

Promoting the feeling of a community

“The development will also promote the feeling of a community that integrates residents of both the apartments and the bungalows with the wider development through the creation of new high-quality public spaces and pedestrian links through the site.”

The proposals were submitted to the council, but a decision has not yet been made by planning officers as to whether or not it will go ahead.
