First homes on old hospital site finished by August
THE FIRST properties on a former hospital near Wolvey from Bloor Homes, the housebuilding firm of Triumph magnate John Bloor, will be completed by August.
Bloor obtained the Bramcote Hospital site, which had been disused since 2011, and was given planning permission to construct 28 homes in September last year.
Since then most of the old hospital buildings have been demolished, although Ashby House to the south is being retained by the NHS.
Around half of the plots for the luxury four and five bedroom detached homes have been begun and a sales office is now open to the public.
As part of the development Bloor will contribute £37,999 towards improvements to open space and play facilities in the surrounding area, £70,122 for additional teaching spaces at Wolvey Primary School, and £200,000 for the provision of affordable housing elsewhere in Nuneaton and Bedworth borough.
Harry Bramwell, site manager for Bloor Homes at Bramcote Manor, said: “Construction work is progressing well and we are delighted to be welcoming visitors to the site.”
“Bramcote Manor will completely rejuvenate a derelict brownfield site in the local countryside by delivering a range of high quality family homes, and it’s great to see the development beginning to take shape.”
