Wellington care home set to change back to residential use with two homes planned

Ellen Court, on Mill Lane, Wellington, has been operating as a care home since 1999.

However, prior to that, it had an open market residential use, so the scheme would reinstate the building to its previous use.

The proposal is for a four-bedroom unit spread across two floors, and a two-bed unit on the ground floor. No external alterations are part of the scheme, and only a minor is required to block up a doorway to form the separate units.

Each one would have adequate private space, sufficient parking provision and be Nationally Described Space Standards compliant.

Following a formal consultation period and subsequent re-consultation period, no comments were received from local ward members or neighbouring properties.

The proposal was approved by Wellington Town Council at its recent planning committee meeting.
