Trowbridge care home plans resubmitted to Wiltshire Council

Healthcare developer Montpelier Estates previously applied for permission to construct an 80-bedroom care home on land off Bradford Road before the plans were withdrawn in 2021.

Now, the plans are active again on the Wiltshire planning and building control public register, with a deadline date for a council decision in mid-May.

The design first submitted five years ago. (Image: Montpelier Estates) The original proposal includes plans for an entrance lobby and reception, a café bistro, office space, a beauty salon, a gym, a hair salon, a library, a private dining facility and communal lounges.

Of the 80 bedrooms, 24 were described as “premium”.

The application read: “The building will utilise the existing levels on the site and have a lower floor sunk into the slope, bedrooms will face out onto the southern garden whilst services will sit against a retaining wall.

“This will give the development the appearance of being two storey from the access road, fitting the rest of the proposed business park, and from Bradford Road create an impressive and interesting three storey facade.”

The application was noted as valid on the register from Thursday, March 20.
